Data Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Automatic |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if the calculation mode is automatic. |
AutoTrack |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if task tracking fields automatically update resource assignments. |
SpreadPercentToStatusDate |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if edits to total task percent complete are spread to the status date. |
SpreadCostsToStatusDate |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if edits to total actual cost are spread to the status date. The SpreadCostsToStatusDate argument is ignored if AutoCalcCosts is True. |
AutoCalcCosts |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if actual costs are always calculated by Project. |
FixedCostAccrual |
Optional |
Long |
The default method used to accrue fixed costs. Can be one of the following PjAccrueAt constants: pjStart, pjEnd, or pjProrated. |
CalcMultipleCriticalPaths |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if Project calculates multiple critical paths for the project. |
CriticalSlack |
Optional |
Integer |
The maximum amount of slack allowed for critical tasks. |
SetDefaults |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if the values specified for all arguments except Automatic become the default for new projects. |
CalcInsProjLikeSummTask |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if subprojects in a master project behave like normal summary tasks. False if subprojects are calculated on their own. The default value is False. |
MoveCompleted |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if Project moves the end of completed parts after the status date back to the status date. |
AndMoveRemaining |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if Project moves the start of remaining parts back to the status date. |
MoveRemaining |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if Project moves the start of remaining parts before the status date forward to the status date. |
AndMoveCompleted |
Optional |
Boolean |
True if Project moves the end of completed parts forward to the status date. |
EVMethod |
Optional |
Long |
The default method for calculating earned value. Can be one of the following PJEarnedValueMethod constants: pjPercentComplete or pjPhysicalPercentComplete. |
EVBaseline |
Optional |
Long |
The baseline to use when calculating earned value. Can be one of the following PjBaselines constants: pjBaseline, or pjBaseline1 . . . pjBaseline10. |
Return Value
Boolean
Remarks
If an argument is omitted, its default value is specified by the setting on the Schedule tab of the Project Options dialog box.
