SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, the Current Date gridline does not get redrawn when you use the CurrentDate property in Microsoft Visual Basic, Applications Edition.

WORKAROUND

To set the Current Date and redraw the Current Date gridline to the new date, use either of the following workarounds.

Method 1:

Use the ProjectSummaryInfo method instead of the CurrentDate method.

Method 2:

Reapply the Gantt Chart view, as in the following example:
ProjectSummaryInfo CurrentDate:="1/1/95" 

MORE INFORMATION

When you use the CurrentDate property to set the Current Date, the Current Date in the File Summary Info box is set to the correct date, but the Current Date gridline is still drawn at the previous date.
