    Macros are written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). You may need to run your installation setup routine to ensure that you installed the VBA support for MS-Project.

    The Help system explains how to use Macros, and the Visual Basic editor (Tools -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor) also has a Help file. One good way to learn how to write Macros is to study ones that are already written.

    HTH!

    VBA macros are very powerful tools to overcome shortfalls in MSP. Most macros I have seen take info from MSP either to Excel or Access using DDE commands. (allows you to take info from one application whilst running another)
    The main problem with the wizard function is that they commonly only allow for 1-step function which is fine but can just as easily be created using linked data between applications.

    The beauty of VBA Macros is that data can be manipulated in various ways depending on the scenario you require.

    I found the best way to learn is to create a single step macro using the wizard then you can edit this (tools Macro/Edit) and modify it accrodingly using the VBA tool help function which is quite explicit.
    Many tutorial books have been written.
