Automation interface to Milestones Professional (for programmers)

Question:     

Is there a VBA or Visual Basic interface for Milestones?  I use VBA to perform automation from PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Project and it would be useful if I could access Milestones Professional similarly.

I am trying to develop an application which ties together my Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with Milestones Professional so that I can consolidate my financial information with my schedule information.  I know Milestones Professional fairly well but I am not familiar with programming.  Is there any documentation anywhere?

 

Answer:

It's possible to build Milestones Professional schedules via automation from VBA in any of the products you have mentioned.  Milestones Professional offers a robust "automation interface".

 

Full documentation for Milestones Professional's automation interface can be found within the Milestones Professional software.
