PRJ4x: Incomplete Project Filename Displayed for Macro/Module (136726)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1
- Microsoft Project for the Macintosh 4.0
This article was previously published under Q136726 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, the name that appears in the Module list on the
Visual Basic toolbar for a module in your project may contain an incomplete
project filename.
When this behavior occurs, the following additional symptoms occur:
- The name that appears in the Macro dialog box for a macro in your
project may not display the complete project filename.
- The References dialog box displays an incomplete filename for your
project.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you use the FileSaveAs method to save a file with
a name that contains a period. For example, if you use the FileSaveAs
method in a macro to save your project as Test.Test, a module in the
project is displayed as [Test]Module1 in the Module list on the Visual
Basic toolbar (where Module1 is the module name). The text following the
period is not displayed in the project filename in the Module list.
Additionally, if another project that contains a macro is open in Microsoft
Project, a macro in the project Test.Test that was saved using the
FileSaveAs method in the above example is displayed as [Test]Macro1 in the
Macros dialog box (where Macro1 is the macro name).
When this problem occurs, the filename is displayed correctly in the
project title bar (the program title bar if the project window is
maximized).
WORKAROUND
In Project for Windows 95, to display the entire project filename properly
in the Module list on the Visual Basic toolbar or a macro in the Macros dialog box after saving the file by using the FileSaveAs method, save the file again by clicking Save As on the File menu, and then click the Save button.
On the Macintosh, save the file without a period in the file name.
NOTE: This problem is not corrected by saving the file again using the FileSaveAs method in a macro or by using the Save command on the File menu.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
