    Select & modify multiple task bar properties

    Hello,
    this question is probably going to be an easy thing for you, but i'm really not finding the answer.

    I have to set up different task bar properties for all the project.

    example:
    some needs to show text1 on the left, some text2 on the right, some are blu, some are green etc etc etc....

    I simply thought: ok, i select the one i need and from task bar properties i change what i need.
    If i do in this way it changes only the first bar. All the others stay the same.
    and this lead me to change all the properties one by one...and it is really annoying :(

    There must be an easy way to fix this, but i just don't see it.. do you know how to fix this problem ? Thank you very much

    I assume that a great place to start is the Project SDK. Here is an article on that Tasks collection:
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb214628.aspx

    Opening an MPP from Excel is fairly straightforward. Reference the Project type library first.
    Dim projectApplication As New MSProject.Application
    projectApplication.FileOpenEx "C:\data\temp\project.mpp"
    Dim taskItem As Task
    For Each taskItem In projectApplication.ActiveProject.Tasks
    Debug.Print taskItem.Name
    Next

    Hello jtvallo,

    If you are attempting to change a type of task (example: critical, non-critical, summary, etc) go through the Format > Bar Style command to change all tasks with the same definition.

    You may also select multiple tasks and then choose the Format > Bar command if the formatting is not applied to a specific type of task.

    The third option is to use Flag fields (Flag1, Flag2, etc) and then use the Format > Bar Style command to set the formatting. In the Format > Bar Style command use the "Show for...." option and select FlagX as needed.

    I hope this helps.
    Julie
