Hello everyone,
I have ran into an automation issue that I cannot seem to figure out.
Currently, I have a worksheet,("Project") that contains data in columns "A"(Project Name) & "B"(Project File Location).
Column "B" contains the string location of each MS Project file.
My VBA macro loops through column "B" and opens each MS Project file and copies a task with the .SelectTaskField method and then copies it back into column "E" of the worksheet.
The first 2 projects loop through without any issues, however, on the 3rd project, I receive the Run-time error '1004': An unexpected error occurred with the method.
I co-worker and I have poured through the code and the MS Project Files to see if there are any differences in the data and we cannot find any differences.
Below is a copy of the code that I have been using.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar issues. I have found that MS Project does not like to be manipulated like Excel or Word.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

VBA Code:

Set ws = Worksheets("Projects")
Dim lrow As Long
lrow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'Turns off updates and alerts
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

'Select Daily Field Reports and clear worksheet
ws.Range("E2:E" & lrow).ClearContents
'Opens MS Project

'This keeps MS Project invisible. If you want to see it, change to "True"
objproject.Application.Visible = True
Dim oproject As Range
'This cycles through the range and gathers the data for each project
For Each oproject In Range("B2:B" & lrow)

objproject.Application.SelectTaskField Row:=1, Column:="Percent Complete", RowRelative:=False 'The column name must match. This is the only issue that I have uncovered.
objproject.Application.EditCopy
ws.Select
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = ws.Range("E" & lastrow)

Next oproject
'Turns updates and alerts back on

'Closes MS Project
