  • Article

Syntax

expression. TaskDeliverableCreate( _Create_ )

expression An expression that returns an Application object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
Create Optional Variant If the selected task has no associated deliverable, True creates a deliverable. If the selected task does have an associated deliverable, False removes the deliverable. The default value is False.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

When the selected task does not have a deliverable, following are results of running the TaskDeliverableCreate method:

  • TaskDeliverableCreate(True) creates a deliverable for the selected task.

  • TaskDeliverableCreate(False) does nothing.

When the selected task has an associated deliverable, following are results of running the TaskDeliverableCreate method:

  • TaskDeliverableCreate(True) gives the error, Cannot create a deliverable link for the selected subproject task., followed by the run-time error 1004, An unexpected error occurred with the method.

  • TaskDeliverableCreate(False) removes the deliverable.

The TaskDeliverableCreate method is equivalent to the Create Deliverables command on the Deliverable drop-down menu on the Task tab of the Ribbon. If the selected task has no deliverable, the Create Deliverables command creates one. If the selected task has a deliverable, Create Deliverables shows an active icon, and selecting the command deletes the deliverable.

Note

You cannot create a task deliverable until you publish the project and create a project workspace. You also cannot create a deliverable on a summary task.

Example

The following example creates or deletes a deliverable for the selected task in a published project.

Sub ToggleDeliverable() 
    Dim deliverGuid As String 
 
    deliverGuid = ActiveCell.Task.deliverableGuid 
 
    If deliverGuid = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" Then 
        TaskDeliverableCreate Create:=True 
    Else 
        TaskDeliverableCreate Create:=False 
    End If 
End Sub
