Hi

i would strongly recommend a 2 - 3 day "hands-on"
project course to get the basics of the program as IMHO it's not intuitive
as the other MS products and has a lot of inbuilt methodologies that you
really need to have a grasp of .. however if this is not an
option and you're after a book try "Special Edition Using Project xxxx"
published by QUE (where xxxx is the version of project you've got) ... there
are some on-line resources you might also like to take a look at:

www.mvps.org/project - have a look through the FAQs also Mike Glen has
written a good series of getting started lessons, these can be
found at http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc also with 2003 you get the "Project Guide"
which takes you through the basics of setting up a project (its a toolbar if
you can't see it when you open Project) and if you have a look at MS's site
there's an "online course" on scheduling
http://office.microsoft.com/training/
and
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...raining/prj02trn.mspx#XSLTsection122121120120


Hope this helps
Cheers

In addition to Julie's recommendation I've used Microsoft Project
Step-by-Step as a text for my classes and find it very good for learning
from the ground up. I'd also suggest getting a copy of the guide to the
PMBOK, Project Management Body of Knwledge, published by the Project
Managemtn Institute. It doesn't teach anything about MS Project but it is a
comprehensive guide to the discipline of PM that is the basis for the way
Project functions.
