Link Outlook 2003 to Project pro 2003 without the server
 

Hi all, Is there away of linking my projects to my outlook calendar and task
list with out having to get the server. I am a only user and really dont
need a server just for this. All I want to do is take the projects I am
working on and have them in my task list and on my outlook calendar so I
dont have to keep inputting stuff twice. I want more then just exporting my
task list to project. I want when I complete a task on the project it is
also completed in outlook or the other way around. I dont see why this is
not posible. I should be able to create a link between the two for a task. I
use this for coding projects as well as other types of projects where I
really need to see it on my calendar.

thanks
Allen

Have you tried posting in an MS Project newsgroup? I think that might be the
best place to start...

At http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1165 I have two macros -
one that exports your Project tasks to Outlook, and another that retrieves
status info from Outlook and updates Project.
Note:
Change
For Each oTask In ActiveProject.Tasks
to
For Each mspTask In ActiveProject.Tasks

I also suggest changing
olTask.Body = mspTask.Name
to
olTask.Subject=mspTask.Name
