Hi Mark,

You should be able to get back to the Application from the document. I'm not familiar with Project, but think that there's some way to get a reference back for sure. It might be via the Object and some digging in the project object model...

Another option for what I've used in the past is hosting inside of Internet Explorer Browser control. If Project is an ActiveDoc host you can access it inside of IE, which often provides the cleanest UI integration. I've done this with hosting Word in applications and it works much better than using OleBoundControls and their funcky activation/deactivation schemes. From with IE you can access the application via its Document property. Not sure though whether you can host project that way.


Regards,

>Thanks very much for this although what I was trying to do was to have the object embedded on a form rather than open MS Project. I needed to import and export data from the Project without adding an Add-In to MS Project. By adding the Microsoft Project Document control as an ActiveX control, I still didn't have any way of getting to the properties of Project. What I did was add an OleBoundControl to the form. Set the source to a general field of type "MSProject.Project" and was able to get at the properties and import and export data to the Project. I'm not sure if it's the best way of doing this though, so if you have any other ideas that would be great.
