I'm using the NEW PROJECT event now and may be stuck with it...

The issue is that when someone launches project, then closes open projects
and then tries to open a new (blankk) project - a number of my routines fail
because there is no active document

NEWPROJECT fires before an active document has been created.

The behavior is different when opening Project from a doubleclick on it's
icon. Assuming you have "open previous project" turned off, Project opens a
blank document and NEWPROJECT runs fine.

WHen open previous project is turned on, no problems at all
