Entering tasks from Project into Outlooks' Tasklist

[Scorpisnake]

Is it possible to check in the Task properties somewhere that you want the
task allocated to your MS Outlook Task List, rather than have to manually
enter and monitor the same task in two lists?
I'm currently on Project Standard 2003, upgrading shortly to Project 2007.

Hi Scorpisnake,

I'm afraid there is no such option in Project. You may import Outlook
Task list items into Project, but there is no direct way in Project to
export to Outlook.

There have been examples of VBA code posted to this newsgroup in the
past. Below is a link to some code posted to an Outlook website in
January 2006. Please note, I have not tried the code and cannot vouch
for either its safety nor effectiveness.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
