I have various project files saved in a SharePoint document library. I've
synced the document library to Outlook and can preview Word/Excel documents
without issue. However I cannot preview Project files. Outlook says there
is no Project previewer installed and I cannot find one on the Web.
In addition, when I double click the Outlook item, the Project opens and the
file is opened from SharePoint in read only mode. When I try and save it,
the save-as dialog defaults to My Documents, and I tediously have to navigate
to SharePoint fiddle with file names and checking in/out to get it to save.
Surely there is a viewer for .mpp files so I can quickly browse my project
files in Outlook without using the browser and SharePoint. And surely there
is a way to open .mpp files from Outlook (that are in Sharepoint) in edit
mode.
Thanks for your help.
