Ok

Its not a planning question, but our procedures people have decreed that the file name and its location has to be on all our programmes etc. Do I have to do it manually or is there a field I can insert ?

Cheers

Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    You can show the information as a header or a footer.

    View > Header and Footer >

    Select the appropriate tab and then choose what you want to show from the General drop-down menu.

    Regards,

    Darren

    I use the small macro that follows:
    Of course you need to replace Lundi to Dimanche
    by the explicit name designation in your language
    ie Monday to Sunday.



    8<==============================================
    Option Explicit


    Private Sub project_BeforePrint(ByVal pj As MSProject.Project)

    Dim myDate As Date
    Dim myText As String
    Dim myDay As Long


    ’ Name Value Description
    ’ pjSunday 1 Sunday.
    ’ pjMonday 2 Monday.
    ’ pjTuesday 3 Tuesday.
    ’ pjWednesday 4 Wednesday.
    ’ pjThursday 5 Thursday.
    ’ pjFriday 6 Friday.
    ’ pjSaturday 7 Saturday.





    myDay = Weekday(Now)



    Select Case myDay

    Case 1
    myText = "Dimanche"

    Case 2
    myText = "Lundi"

    Case 3
    myText = "Mardi"

    Case 4
    myText = "Mercredi"

    Case 5
    myText = "Jeudi"

    Case 6
    myText = "Vendredi"

    Case 7
    myText = "Samedi"

    Case Else

    End Select

    myText = myText & " " & CStr(DateFormat(Now, pjDate_mmmm_dd_yyyy))
    myText = myText & " @ " & CStr(DateFormat(Now, pjDate_hh_mmAM))

    FilePageSetupFooter Alignment:=pjLeft, Text:="&[affichage] pour &[filtre] in " & Chr(10) & ActiveProject.FullName
    FilePageSetupFooter Alignment:=pjCenter, Text:="Imp. par:" & Application.UserName & "Créé par: " & ActiveProject.Author & Chr(10) & "___"
    FilePageSetupFooter Alignment:=pjRight, Text:=myText & Chr(10) & "Page &[Page] / &[pages]"

    End Sub
