That will one of the options.
At the moment its more to do with multiple projects, resources, consolidated files, calculated fields, export to Excel etc etc.
I can use MSP to do all of the above, but would like to know more of pitfalls, tips & tricks.
We are not in a MSP Server environment yet, but could see that happening at some stage in the distant future
I suspect sucj a reference book only existing the heads of people who have done the above, but no harm in asking
Cheers
Mal,
How advanced do you want to get?
You could try VBA Programming for Microsoft Office Project by Rod Gill.

Thanks for the replies
Am in same position. Have been using PowerProject for last 4 years. However, a change in the situation with regards to our contract and services means a change in planning software as MSP is their standard planning package.
Therefore, no point in knocking it blah blah. Its what I have to use. Therefore, need to develop a greater understanding of the more adavanced features.
Anyone else with other suggestions
Cheers
Brad,
True, it’s no Primavera but it serves a purpose for projects that don’t want to, or can’t afford to spend a great deal of money on planning applications.
From a selfish point of view I wouldn’t want to go back to MS Project or Primavera if I’d been using PowerProject for four years, but I guess you’ve got to play the hands youre dealt.

Darren
Hi Mal,
Ive always found Dynamic Scheduling: With Microsoft Office Project 2003 by Eric Uyttewaal to be a useful reference. Its MS Project 2k3 rather than 2k2, but I dont think theres a great deal of difference between the versions.
Special Edition Using Microsoft Project 2003 by Tim Pyron is pretty good as well, but probably aimed at the new/intermediate user.
Im sure Paul Harris also has a book(s) out for MS Project, but I havent read any so cant recommend them.
Regards,
Darren
