Detailed question about comparison of 2 Microsoft Project files
schnerrific I have a somehow different issue but still related to this topic. I am doing a comparison of 2 mpp file. however, I am using add-in. hopefully i can explain it in a way you can figure out what I'm doing.
step1: I open an mpp file (let's call it A). thus showing the add-in in the process cause it's in the menu
step 2, there is a button in the add-in that asked to select another mpp file (let's call it B) to compare with.
step 3: I should be able to open the selected mpp(B) file and compare it the existing(A)
the problem, if I call the function to open the mpp file B, it's not showing. I created a new instance of mpp in the process, but still it's not showing. can you help me make it work?
thanks,
Gilbert
What exactly is the add-in you are trying to use? I suggest you contact whoever created the add-in to find out how it's supposed to work.
The Compare Projects utility found under, Report > Project group > Compare Projects is not an add-in, it is included as part of the Project app.

- I also created that add-in, I am using VB.net. Initially, the add-in performs different reports. Now, I was instructed to create something similar to Compare Projects.
bertwong1,
So. . . . why not use the Compare Projects utility? I created my "wheel" way back when because it didn't exist, so writing my own compare macro made sense. But now that the built-in utility exists, why "re-invent the wheel"?
