Problem involving the Interop for MS Project 2003.

Wednesday, 4 August 2010 1:42 PM
I'm running VS2005 and MS Project 2003. I'm writing a custom Winforms app that, among other things, calls up an instance of MS Project 2003 and loads and manipulates an MPP file. (I can't remember if I've asked before but how common is this sort of thing?)
The display of the MPP file is the default. List of tasks on the left, Gantt chart on the right.
My problem is this: How do I programatically manipulate the date setting on the Gantt Chart? That is, set it so the first day displayed is the same as the start date of the first task displayed on the left?

Hi,
I do not know all the stuff you have to add for Interop, but here are the objects:
The instruction is application.editgoto, with two options:
editgoto id:=xxx 'positions the timescale such that task id xxx will be visible
editgoto date:="xx/yy/ZZZ" 'positions the timescale such that xx/yy/zzz appears on the left.
Greetings,
