Synchronizing Tasks with Outlook

[NancyL]

Is there a way to automatically synchronize tasks from Outlook to MS Project.
These tasks are not necessarily concerning one certain project but may be of
many different ones. Maybe by department?

Hello NancyL,

I assume you are not using Project Server. With Project Standard or
Professional in a non-Project Server environment, you can import tasks
from Outlook to MS Project through Tools > Import Outlook Tasks.
However, there is no link or synchronization between the tasks and the
project file once they have been imported.

There may be third party (not created by Microsoft) products which
accomplish what you need. See the Companion Products link at:
http://project.mvps.org/ for possible solutions.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
