Hello Fredbarr,
I'm not sure whether you want to scroll the Gantt chart to today's date
or whether you are looking for a filtered list but a couple of options:
To scroll the Gantt chart to today:
You could place the following line of code into the Open event for the
project:
Private Sub Project_Open (ByVal pj as Project)
EditGoTo Date:=Date
End Sub
Bear in mind that all users with Project 2003 would need to alter the
default Macro Security setting to allow macros to run.
A non-code, but more manual is to have the users press F5 when opening
the project and typing "today" (no quotes) in the date field area on the
Go To dialog box. That will scroll the Gantt chart timeline
If you want to present the file with only task currently being worked
on, you could use the the "Date Range" filter as part of a view. The
date range filter will prompt users to enter in dates to show tasks
which fall between the user entered dates. Then it is merely an issue of
selecting the view or saving the project file with that view active.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I have a well defined schedule that defines a repeated process.
It takes 90 days to complete the process.
I'd like someone to be able to open the plan and automatically view
the
scheduled tasks starting the day they open it.
Anyone know how to do that?
