Microsoft Project should export task lists into outlook

[jaybrinson]

I use microsoft project and microsoft outlook frequently. I spend too much
time double entering information. It would be very helpful if there was an
interface to export project tasks into outlook that were already categorized.
You folks would really hit the jackpot if project could import contacts from
outlook so that tasks could be assigned to specific contacts.

Hi Jay,

I know your posting was a suggestion, not a question - but concerning your
"jackpot" point - have you looked at the following menu command: Insert >
New Resource From > Address Book? That allows you to insert resources into
your project from your Outlook address book. The option exists in both
Project 2002 and Project 2003.

I believe the integration you mention between Outlook and Project also
exists when using Project server.

Hope this helps.
