MS Project 2003 or 2007 Dashboard

[Hardip]

Hi all

I have access to both editions of the product but mostly use 2003 at present
because the team appear happier with this version.

I've been trawling around trying to find any add-on functionality that would
allow me to enhance the reporting available in MS Project. I've been
capturing all the data in MS Project in spreasheets but feel this option is
become to labour intensive and isn't the right approach going forward.

I'd appreciate if anyone can point be to a commercial tool that can help me
in the standalone version of MS Project.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hello Hardip,

I don't have any specific recommendations, but you might start with
the list of companion products that are listed on the Project MVP
page.

See:
http://project.mvps.org/comprods.htm


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

You're welcome Hardip. If you find a listing for a companion
product that is of interest, you might want to post a general
question back here and see if anyone has more specific feedback.

Thanks Julie - I most definitely will. There are some pretty impressive
products on offer. Will email back when I have reviewed the finer details.
