SYMPTOMS
Changing a project's Title property through a macro does not appear to change the Name of the project summary task.



CAUSE
The Title property properly makes the change. Microsoft Project, however, fails to refresh the view to show the change.



WORKAROUND
To make the new title appear, perform any action to force a refresh of the screen such as scrolling the project summary task off the screen and back again.

Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Project also provides an alternative method for setting the project title. By using the ProjectSummaryInfo method, you can set both the project Title and the Name of the project summary task.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
