MS Project .mpp file viewer

How can I view MS Project .mpp files without installing MS Project? I have MS
Office 2000 and Windows XP.

Hi Hugh,

Microsoft does not produce a Project viewer.

If you can work with the person who created the project file, the
information in FAQ # 16 "Project Viewer" at
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

will provide some details. There are also some third party project viewers
listed at the same site under "Companion Products".

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thanks, Julie. You've confirmed what I believed to be the current position. I
can often work with the creator of the projects, but not always.

Hugh,

Have you considered the "Save as Web Page" option - this will allow you to
provide people with an interest with a "Static" image of your project plan
as of a specific date and also has the benefit of being tamper proof and you
only disclosing the information you want people to have whereas access to an
mpp file allows both access all areas and can be changed "inadvertently".
There is an article on save as HTML in the downloads section of my website.

Happy planning.
