User Question Received by E-Mail:

Is it possible to use the Crystal Ball Project Macro with OpenProj rather than MS Project?

Dear Crystal Ball User:

Unfortunately you can’t run the macro in OpenProject because it requires access to VBA libraries which are not part of the open source solution. To my knowledge, all the Monte-Carlo and Discreet Simulation tools on the market work with either Project are you working on, maybe I can recommend a solution?

Hi Crystal Ball User:

Actually its because the VBA libraries are proprietary to Microsoft… If you do a lot of project planning, it may be worth looking into investing in MS Project… it offers far more expansion and add-in capability… Open project is nice when intend to use it strictly out of the box.

I hope this helps!
