Exporting tasks to Outlook

[jr_de_pijper]

Hi,

I am a standalone user of Microsoft Project 2003 and want to export
project tasks to Microsoft Outlook 2003. I thought this would be easy,
but hours of googling have not helped me My whole being tells me that
this is a natural thing to do and should be easy. Can anyone help me
out please?

Thanks!

Import Outlook tasks into project is possible... Project
tasks to Outlook is part of Project Server... not
standard. Upgrade to Project Server or try Copy, Paste...

Good Luck!

Jan,

Assuming that you just want to export your own tasks to Outlook, you
can do it by installing the MS Project Add-in for Outlook. It's
located in the WGSETUP folder on the MS Project CD (you might have to
dig down a couple of levels to find it.) You'll need to make sure
that you've entered in your email address in the Resource Sheet, and
that you've selected email as the collaboration method. All of this
is covered in the Help file. Just do a search on Collaborate, and you
should find an entry on using email. Using Email as the collaboration
method isn't as elegant as using Project Server, but it helps some.

If you want to export EVERYONE'S tasks to your copy of Outlook....I'm
not sure how you'd do that.

Good Luck
