IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As part of the streamlining of version 8.7 of Primavera Risk Analysis, Visual Basic (VBA) has been removed. The following areas will be affected by this change: It will no longer be possible to create VBA macro .plan files. The Microsoft Visual Basic editor will no longer be installed with the software. When opening .plan files containing existing macros, saving the .plan file will remove the existing macro functionality.

Although the ability to create and run macros from within Primavera Risk Analysis is no longer available, the ability to extend and control Primavera Risk Analysis through programmable components still exists. The underlying object model which could previously be controlled using Macros programmed with Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications can now be controlled using any COM compliant language including Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C++. The Primavera Risk Analysis Help file installed with the software also has a section on converting Macros from VBA to VB6.
