Import a printable gantt chart from MsProject to Excel
I would like to be able to import a gantt chart from MSProject to Excel that
will be printable from the Excel worksheet. I tried creating a connection to MSProject and then opening a recordset to return tasks, dates fields and then binding the recordset, but the resulting gantt chart which displays in Excel does not print when I print the sheet. Is there some way that I can transfer this data in gantt chart formatting that I can then print from the Excel sheet? I appreciate any help you can give me on this! |

Import a printable gantt chart from MsProject to Excel
Hi Marjie
if you want a "picture" of your gantt chart in an excel worksheet that prints, in Project use the camera icon on the standard toolbar to generate a gif and then put that in excel. if you're after somthing else, please post your code as i'm interested to see the "gantt chart which displays in excel" ... and then hopefully from there figure out why it doesn't print Cheers JulieD "Marjie" wrote in message ...

Import a printable gantt chart from MsProject to Excel
I will try that. I am gathering a variety of information from a variety of
sources and pulling it all together in an Excel spreadsheet (including charts, pictures, data) and then using the sheet for distribution purposes as well as printing. The code I spoke of that displays the gant chart in EXCEL, but won't print is: Dim con As New Connection Dim rs As New Recordset Dim sql As String Dim constr As String constr = "Provider=sqloledb;Server=ServerName;database=dbNa me;trusted_connection=yes" con.Open constr sql = "SELECT TASK_NAME, START_DATE, FINISH_DATE FROM MSP_PROJECTS WHERE PROJ_ID 4 ORDER BY PROJ_NAME" rs.Open sql, con, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly Me.MSPJGrid1.Binding = rs Me.MSPJGrid1.FieldList = "TASK_NAME,START_DATE[Start],FINISH_DATE[Finish]" Me.MSPJGrid1.Outlining = False Me.MSPJGrid1.GanttView = True Me.MSPJGrid1.PrintObject=True Me.MSPJGrid1.Width = 900 Me.MSPJGrid1.Refresh "JulieD" wrote: Hi Marjie if you want a "picture" of your gantt chart in an excel worksheet that prints, in Project use the camera icon on the standard toolbar to generate a gif and then put that in excel. if you're after somthing else, please post your code as i'm interested to see the "gantt chart which displays in excel" ... and then hopefully from there figure out why it doesn't print Cheers JulieD "Marjie" wrote in message ...

Hi Marjie
glad it worked for you. I was very interested in your code - but couldn't get it to run (don't know much about connection strings) - do you have any references where i could learn more about this topic Regards JulieD "Marjie" wrote in message ...

Import a printable gantt chart from MsProject to Excel
I forgot to mention that I had the code running on the activate event of the
worksheet. As for the connection string, I was working with code from a coworker so I'm afraid I don't know much about connection strings either. "JulieD" wrote: Hi Marjie glad it worked for you.
