Linking from outlook tasks

I understand that this is just a one-way street (i.e. live alerts back to Outlook are not possible) in MSP 2003, but how do I feed Outlook tasks into MS Project? (Assuming that subsequent questions relating to what format/parameters they appear in/with will be answered when I try it for the first time and see the result.)

Thanks

Steve

RE: Linking from outlook tasks

Hi Steve

Thanks for your question. In Project go to the tools menu and choose Import Outlook Tasks. You will be prompted to select which tasks to import from our Outlook account and then Project will import them into your Project.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Compare Work and Duration

Duration is the timescale within which a task is done; Work is the specific time element used. For example, 3 days work in a duration of 2 weeks. To compare, add the Work field into the Entry table by right clicking a column heading to Add Field.
