Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Does anyone have any hands-on experience with Outlook 2003 integration using MSP 2003. Are there any third party add-ons that make the integration easier or more usable ?

Thanks,
Roger

John,

outlook integration in what way?
I use MSP in as a stand-alone project planner. All milestone-tasks are structured and scheduled in MSP - it acts as my master database. I use outlook as my daily scheduler. This means I have to cut & paste all tasks for a particular week from MSP into outlook.

You say you can you can link resources to outlook- so that when I assign a resource it shows in my calendar. Is this possible in stand-alone mode?

"Roger, learn aspects of Primavera Post Office.

it works provided the receiver has ppo set up."

Therein lies the problem. Our office is set up on Outlook and we are pretty dedicated to using MSP so PPO is not a viable option.

thanks,
Roger

I would like to be able to assign tasks via Outlook to a Resource’s task list. I would also like the resources to be able to update the task progress via e-mail as well.

Hi Roger - have you had any luck. The only program I have heard of is Tasklynx from Critical Path Technical Services. I have not tried it. Have you found any others?
