It doesn't happen automatically as Project out-of-the-box is unaware of
Outplook and vice versa, but you can get them to interact. You need to
install the Workgroup add-in for Outlook, WGSETUP.EXE, on the project
manager's workstation and on all the resources computers as well. You don't
mention which version of Project you're using. If it's 2000 search the
distribution CD for the file and the setup instructions. If it's 2002/2003
it's a little more complicated as MS is withdrawing support from the
Workgroup tools and steering people in the direction of Project Server but
for now it is still available. You'll need to download WGSETUP from the MS
web site and also do some registry tweaks on the PM's machine to make the
workgroup tools available. You can find the details at
