Hi Arun,
here are the answers to your question:

1. Is it possible to access project webaccess using Blackberry device.

Generally No, that is predomentantly because of the active x components you
need for PWA, but the best idea is to simply try

2. Is it possible add the documents to the project tasks. if possible how can i do that.

Yes you can, within the document library of a project workspace you will
find a link button when you uploade a document ( or edit the proporeties).
When you select the button you will be able to link a document to one or more
tasks.

3. Is it possible to have the dependency(precedors) between projects. if
possible how can I do that.

yes you can, there are several options but the easiest one is to highlight
both projects in the project center and then select the edit project button.
This will open both projects within another project ( also called a Master
project). YOu can link tasks from the 2 projects just like you link a tasks
within a project. When you click the close button in MS Project make sure
that you save the 2 projects but not the Master project.

hope this helps

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your response. After linking the tasks to the documents, how
can I know the project task has some documents.

thanks,

Hi Arun,
the next time you publish the project you will be able to see the document
icon in the project center and if you have lnked the document to a task and
drill down into the project details you will see the document icon next to
the task.
Hope this helps
