Project export

Can you create a dynamic link between project and outlook tasks?

RE: Project export

Hi Thomas

this isn't supported by Project or Outlook. Whilst it is possible to export or import data this is not a dynamic connection. The closest option would be to connect to Project server (which is additional hardware and software). Outlook can be configured to import your project tasks from the server version of your project. You may find third party manufacturers have developed a solution for dynamic connections or synchronisation.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
