Project 2002 Std vs Professional

[Brian]

My new job requires me to understand MS project and I want
to get MS 2002, but I see there is a Standard and
Professional version. What does Professional give you
that is not in the Std version

Hi,

The possibility to connect to another product which is called Project Server
Without this connection, there is no difference at all.

Hello Brian,
The interfaces of Project Standard and Project Professional are quite the
same.
Project Professional can save its files in a SQL Server data base via
"Project server". It allows a powerfull resource management with resources
skills for example. It allows also the resources to enter their progress on
tasks via Project web Access.
Project Standard is designed as a stand alone planning software, even if it
can share resources with several plans.

Hope this helps,
