*expression   *     Optional. An expression that returns an Application object.

Automatic    Optional Boolean. True if the calculation mode is automatic.

AutoTrack    Optional Boolean. True if task tracking fields automatically update resource assignments.

SpreadPercentToStatusDate    Optional Boolean. True if edits to total task percent complete are spread to the status date.

SpreadCostsToStatusDate    Optional Boolean. True if edits to total actual cost are spread to the status date. The SpreadCostsToStatusDate argument is ignored if AutoCalcCosts is True.

AutoCalcCosts    Optional Boolean. True if actual costs are always calculated by Project.

FixedCostAccrual    Optional Long. The default method used to accrue fixed costs. Can be one of the following PjAccrueAt constants: pjStart, pjEnd, or pjProrated.

CalcMultipleCriticalPaths    Optional Boolean. True if Project calculates multiple critical paths for the project.

CriticalSlack    Optional Integer. The maximum amount of slack allowed for critical tasks.

SetDefaults    Optional Boolean. True if the values specified for all arguments except Automatic become the default for new projects.

CalcInsProjLikeSummTask    Optional Boolean. True if subprojects in a master project behave like normal summary tasks. False if subprojects are calculated on their own. The default value is False.

MoveCompleted    Optional Boolean. True if Project moves the end of completed parts after the status date back to the status date.

AndMoveRemaining    Optional Boolean. True if Project moves the start of remaining parts back to the status date.

MoveRemaining    Optional Boolean. True if Project moves the start of remaining parts before the status date forward to the status date.

AndMoveCompleted    Optional Boolean. True if Project moves the end of completed parts forward to the status date.

EVMethod    Optional Long. The default method for calculating earned value. Can be one of the following PJEarnedValueMethod constants: pjPercentComplete or pjPhysicalPercentComplete.

EVBaseline    Optional Long. The baseline to use when calculating earned value. Can be one of the following PjBaselines constants: pjBaseline, pjBaseline1, pjBaseline2, pjBaseline3, pjBaseline4, pjBaseline5, pjBaseline6, pjBaseline7, pjBaseline8, pjBaseline9, or pjBaseline10.

Remarks

If an argument is omitted, its default value is specified by the current setting on the Calculation tab of the Options dialog box.

Using the OptionsCalculation method without specifying any arguments displays the Options dialog box with the Calculation tab selected.
