RE: MS Project

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

This task is not possible using Project 2003. However if you want the tasks visible in your Outlook calendar, you can export them to Excel and then use Outlook to import the tasks so they appear on your calendar.

If you had Project Server installed as well as Project Professional then there is a lot more interaction between your Project plan and Outlook.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms 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.
