ConstraintType Property

  • Article

Returns or sets a constraint type for a task. Read/write Long.

PjConstraint

Constant Constraint Type Description
pjALAP As Late As Possible Task occurs as late as possible in the schedule without delaying subsequent tasks
pjASAP As Soon As Possible Task occurs as soon as possible in the schedule. This is the default constraint type for tasks
pjFNET Finish No Earlier Than Task finishes on or after the constraint date
pjFNLT Finish No Later Than Task finishes on or before the constraint date
pjMFO Must Finish On Task finishes on the constraint date
pjMSO Must Start On Task starts on the constraint date
pjSNET Start No Earlier Than Task starts on or after the constraint date
pjSNLT Start No Later Than Task starts on or before the constraint date

Remarks

If you set the ConstraintType property to pjFNET, pjFNLT, pjMFO, pjMSO, pjSNET, or pjSNLT, Microsoft Office Project 2003 uses the constraint date for the task. To set the constraint date, use the ConstraintDate property.

Example

The following example changes the constraint type of tasks from MSO and MFO to SNET and FNLT.

Sub ChangeConstraintTypes()

    Dim T As Task   ' Task object used in For Each loop

    For Each T In ActiveProject.Tasks
        If T.ConstraintType = pjMSO Then
            T.ConstraintType = pjSNET
        ElseIf T.ConstraintType = pjMFO Then
            T.ConstraintType = pjFNLT
        End If
    Next T
    
End Sub
