    Need help with MS Project Macro!!!

    Hi,

    Im very new to writing Macos, especially when it comes to Microsoft Project. I need a specific macro that carrys out the following actions:

    Lets say I have a project with the following data...

    Unique ID --- Task Name --- Start --- Finish
    1 --- A1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    2 --- A2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    3 - -- A3 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    4 --- B1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    5 --- B2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    6 --- C1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    7 --- C2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    8 --- C3 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    9 --- C4 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    10 --- D1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11

    (Unique ID as an added new column)

    and I import (copy/paste) the following updated schedule to the original:

    Task Name --- Start --- Finish
    A1 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    A2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    B1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    B2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    B3 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    C1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    C2 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    C3 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    D1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    D2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11

    I would like to update those original task's start/finish dates whilst still retaining their unique ID numbers and add+delete tasks on the updated schedule, resulting in the output:

    Unique ID --- Task Name --- Start --- Finish
    1 --- A1 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    2 --- A2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    4 --- B1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    5 --- B2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    11 --- B3 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    6 --- C1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    7 --- C2 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    8 --- C3 --- 01/02/11 --- 01/03/11
    10 --- D1 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11
    11 --- A2 --- 01/01/11 --- 01/02/11

    The whole purpose is to retain the unique ID number each time. This would be done for schedules with 1000s of tasks so a manual option is not viable.

    Any help asap is much appreciated!
