MS Project - Collaboration

[Tim Curtiss]

MS Project 2002
I'm trying to use the collaboration option to send out
task updates to my team. Since I don't have a MS Project
server, I'm using the email only option under
Collaboration options. When I select "Update Project
Progress" under Collaborate, the MS Project Spooler icon
apears in the lower right hand corner, but nothing gets
sent out and nothing appears in the spooler sheet list.
I don't receive any errors or lockups. Does anyone have
any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

I think, although i might be mistaken, that you need to use Project server
for the collaboration options...

Do you have your mail server set up properly in PWA?
Check under Admin/Customize Microsoft Project Web
Access/Notification and Reminders. If you don't have
your mail server properly identified, it may think it's
sending but not send. Also, check your other settings
under Notifications and Reminders. Finally, when
publishing, is the check box selected to send out
notifications?

Hope one of those options helps out.

Tim,

Did it ever work? You installed the add-on software, provided on the
Project setup disk, to make this work? From the "help" file:

"WGsetup.exe The project manager and all team members need to run
WGsetup.exe, located on the Microsoft Project CD-ROM. Running this
program enables the e-mail system to receive and send team collaboration
messages. "

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
