It's not really hard if you have Project Server, with a project file you need to reference the project api ( I think there is an SDK) and simply do something like
Dim oApp As New MSProject.Application()
oApp.FileOpen("C:\Testproject.mpp", False) Basically the same as any office interop would do too I guess. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

If you don't have Project Server, you might try exporting the mpp file from project in excel format and working with that. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

Well I assume he wants to operate the project file as in updating stuff, would not help much then. Interop should work fine... ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Actually, I didn't think about that. I've been using a DNN PM package lately that imports/exports excel formatted stuff for Project so I was kind of focused on that way - lol. -------------
