Turning Off the Project Guide

  • Article

The Project Guide can cause Microsoft® Office Project 2003 to open more slowly, so organizations or users who do not need the Project Guide might see some performance benefits by turning it off.

To turn off the Project Guide manually:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. Click the Interface tab, and then clear the Display Project Guide check box.

To turn off the Project Guide programmatically:

Do either of the following in a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro, using the Project object model:

  • Set the Application object property DisplayProjectGuide to False, as follows.
    Application.DisplayProjectGuide = False
  • Call the OptionsInterface method, as follows.
    OptionsInterface DisplayProjectGuide:=False

If you turn off the Project Guide, you can turn it on again on the Interface tab in the Options dialog box, or by using the Project object model properties and methods previously described.
