Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub CreateLocationOutlineCode()

Dim objOutlineCode As OutlineCode

Set objOutlineCode = ActiveProject.OutlineCodes.Add( _
    pjCustomResourceOutlineCode1, "Location")

objOutlineCode.OnlyLookUpTableCodes = True

DefineLocationCodeMask objOutlineCode.CodeMask
EditLocationLookupTable objOutlineCode.LookupTable



End Sub


Sub DefineLocationCodeMask(objCodeMask As CodeMask)
objCodeMask.Add _
Sequence:=pjCustomOutlineCodeUppercaseLetters, _
Length:=2, Separator:="."


objCodeMask.Add _
Sequence:=pjCustomOutlineCodeUppercaseLetters, _
Separator:="."


objCodeMask.Add _
Sequence:=pjCustomOutlineCodeUppercaseLetters, _
Length:=3, Separator:="."
End Sub


Sub EditLocationLookupTable(objLookupTable As LookupTable)
Dim objStateEntry As LookupTableEntry
Dim objCountyEntry As LookupTableEntry
Dim objCityEntry As LookupTableEntry


Set objStateEntry = objLookupTable.AddChild("WA")
objStateEntry.Description = "Washington"

Set objCountyEntry = objLookupTable.AddChild("KING", _
    objStateEntry.UniqueID)
objCountyEntry.Description = "King County"

Set objCityEntry = objLookupTable.AddChild("SEA", _
    objCountyEntry.UniqueID)
objCityEntry.Description = "Seattle"

Set objCityEntry = objLookupTable.AddChild("RED", _
    objCountyEntry.UniqueID)
objCityEntry.Description = "Redmond"

Set objCityEntry = objLookupTable.AddChild("KIR", _
    objCountyEntry.UniqueID)
objCityEntry.Description = "Kirkland"
