How to send a task to Outlook from Project

[John K.]

I have created a project, and would like to send the individual tasks to the
approriate resources. For example, I have a task "Determine Requirements"
that has been assigned to our Systems Analyst. I have her set up as a
resource. Is there some way that Project can automatically place a task
reminder in HER Outlook ("Determine Requirements," with a due date of June
30, 2005) in her Outlook calendar? Or do I have to manually send her a task
or event request to make this happen?

Thanks!

What version of MS Project are you using? Enterprise or desktop? If desktop,
do you already have Project set up to use the Team Assign feature for email?

How you approach this will largely depend on the version of MS Project you
are using, plus some additional configuration/setup (e.g., in Project 2003
see

Hope this helps.
