Hi Neil

It's easier to bring your Outlook tasks to Project. From the Tools menu choose Import Outlook Tasks. To send tasks in the other direction you would first have to export them into a format that Outlook can recognise.

From the File menu choose save as and from the format drop-down pick a format such as CSV and save. From the wizard choose new map and from the next screen make sure Task is selected. Choose next and select the fields you would like to export. To speed up the process click on base on table and pick the entry table from the list. Choose next and finish.

From Outlook you will need to choose your tasks folder and follow the import process to bring your tasks in.

Note that although task information can be brought into Project it isn't syncronised so that changes in your plan do not automatically arrive in Outlook and vice versa.

Project Server provides more direct tools to connect Outlook with your Project plan.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
