Hari --
There is no default method for controlling the publishing of projects based
on your criteria. In this case, you have two options:
1. Post your message in the microsoft.public.project.developer newsgroup
and ask the guidance of VBA developers on how to handle this using macros.
or
2. Your organization can make this a training and performance issue.
Training should be provided to all project managers on how to use the system
correctly, and then they should be held accountable for maintaining those
standards. In order to do this, you must have executive-level support for
your implementation, or at least the support of those who manage the project
managers.
Hope this helps.
