VBA Excel couldn't find custom values from MS Project

Question

I've been trying to find Text1 from MS Project using Excel VBA .Find method but it doesn't seem to be working. I have a working code but it is very slow because it loops through every task. Here is my code:

Sub Exp()
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
    .Filters.Clear
    .Filters.Add "MPD", "*.mpp*"
       If .Show = True Then
          Dim getfilename As String
          Dim appProj As MSProject.Application
          Dim Found As Boolean
          Dim TaskObject As Object
          getfilename = .SelectedItems(1)
          Set appProj = CreateObject("Msproject.Application")
             appProj.FileOpen (getfilename)
             appProj.Visible = True
          Found = appProj.Find (Field:="Text1", Test:="equals", Value:="Exp1")
          If Found Then
             Set TaskObject = appProj.ActiveCell.Task
             Debug.Print TaskObject.UniqueID & " - " & TaskObject.Name
          Else
             MsgBox "Not Found"
          End If
       End If
    End With
   End Sub

How can i get this code working or is there another way of doing this? Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

Find is a method of the Application object, not the Project object. So the correct way to use it is this:

Found = Application.Find(Field:="UniqueID", Test:="equals", Value:="130")

However, there is a faster way to get a reference to a task object by way of its UniqueID by using the UniqueID property of the Tasks object:

Set TaskObject = ActiveProject.Tasks.UniqueID(130)
