Thanks for the tips, Chris! Sounds like that would be a good direction
for us since we have multiple projects to build too.
Thanks,

I modified this for a project made up of several applications
based on a set of static libraries and it worked well. One of
the changes I made was to remove the object code before starting by
adding:
' Remove existing object code before starting
cwProj.RemoveObjectCode 0, true
in front of the line:
' Rebuild fresh
Set buildMsgs = cwProj.BuildandWaitToComplete
I also extended it to run from a command file containing the
names of the projects I wanted built, in the order I wanted
them built. This was just some code to open a text file supplied
on the command line and then iterate:
- read a line from the file and (on the assumption that the
text of the line is a project name)
- open that project (by replacing the line):
fNewProj = GetProject(cwApp, cwProj, s)
with:
Set cwProj = cwApp.OpenProject(s, TRUE, 0, 1)
At the same time I copied the errors and warnings counts to a
summary log file so that I could check the run by confirming that
all projects had non-zero error or warning counts.
