Is Outlook the only e-mail program that is compatible with Project or can another program be used for collaboration?

Hi Stephanie

Thank you for your question.

Can you clarify what you want Outlook and Project to do?

Do you justb wish to import tasks, or do you want to be able to send task information by email? If the later, can you let me know which version of Project you are working with

Regards

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

I would like to be able to do both, but I don't use Outlook. Is it impossible to collaborate using an e-mail system other than Outlook?

I am working with MS Project Standard 2002.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
