Remarks

The TaskMove method does not override a predecessor task constraint for automatically scheduled tasks.

The TaskMove method corresponds to various commands in the Move Task drop-down menu on the TASK ribbon. To move incomplete or complete parts of a task to the status date, use the TaskMoveToStatusDate method.

Example

For the following example, a selected task start date is Friday, 7/24/09. After running the statement, the start date of the task is Monday, 8/3/09. The start date of the task has moved forward eight working days.

Application.TaskMove MoveDays:=8

If the selected task is manually scheduled and has a predecessor task with a finish-to-start (FS) constraint, the following statement moves the selected task back one working day.

If you change the selected task to automatically scheduled, the statement can move the task back only as far as the finish date of the predecessor task.

Application.TaskMove MoveForward:=False
