project and outlook

[Prat]

Can I get Project 2003 (standard) to set up reminders in Outlook to tell me
when certain tasks are due ?

What about automatically sending out emails to the contacts listed in the
resource list?

hi Prat,

You can send email notes to the resources. In a resource sheet, select the
resource or resources about which you want to send a project note.
On the File menu, point to Send To, and then click Mail Recipient (as
Schedule Note).
Under Address message to, select the recipients of your note.
To send a note to all the project resources, contacts, and the project
manager associated with the project, click Entire project.
To send a note only to those resources, contacts, or the project manager
associated with selected resources, click Selected Resources.
To attach the project file to your note, select the File check box.
To attach a picture of the selected resources in the active view, select the
Picture of Selected Resources check box.

Regards,
Haris

is this for project server version only?

I have project 2003 - Standard

What about the automatic update capability ?

Prat,

The solution given is for MS Project Stand-alone version.

If you need automatic updates, you need to have Project Server.

Best regards,
