Microsoft Project compatible?

Robert Haak

I use Entourage primarily, however I have several customers who want me to
deliver them files in Microsoft Project format. The critical information is
the calendar and deadlines therein. GANTT and PERT charts are not
essential.

From what I can tell, there is not Microsoft (or any other company's)
product for the Mac that does this well. Currently, I am using Virtual PC
and running Microsoft Project, then saving the project and e-mailing through
Entourage. This is tedious, to say the least, and not a viable long-term
solution.

Is there a (simple) way to send an Entourage project calendar only to
Microsoft Project users? This would be helpful to me.

Is there another product out there that I am not aware of?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Robert,

not sure if I have THE solution, but it could be a workaround (although
a complicated - though automated one). I do my projects in Merlin
(www.projectwizards.de) which is a ProjectManagement system for Mac and
FULLY MS Project compatible. Merlin uses on the Mac side Addressbook
and iCal for resources. With an iSync plugin you could sync your
addresses and calenders between iCal, Addressbook and Entourage (which
is what I am using now too - having said goodbye to Mail, iCal and
Addressbook).

Haven't tried the route you need myself yet, but in theory you could
run your calenders from an app like Merlin to iCal to Entourage.
