## SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you turn on the macro recorder and edit a report, the changes you make to the report are not recorded in the macro. Additionally, if you create a custom report while the recorded macro is running, this action is not recorded in the macro.

## CAUSE

The macro language in Microsoft Project does not include commands for creating or editing a report.

## WORKAROUND

Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements.
To create or edit a report using a macro, do either of the following:

- Use the Reports method to display the Reports dialog box so that the Custom report option can be chosen.
  -or-
- Use the SendKeys statement with the Reports method to automate the process of selecting the Custom report option. The following example displays the Custom Reports dialog box and allows you to choose a report to edit or to create new report:

            Sub Create_or_Edit_Report
               SendKeys "%us"
               ' Display Reports dialog box
               Reports
            End Sub

Note that you can modify this macro to automatically create a new report or to edit an existing report.

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
