Scheduling meetings in Outlook using MS Project

[ConorW]

Hello,

Does MS project link with MS outlook to create meeting schedules based on
what you put in your project plan or email project deadline reminders to
those impacted by the project?

Thanks
Conor

No MS Project can't do that.
You will need MS Project Server if you want that function.

Hello ConorW,

If you are using Project 2007, on the tracking toolbar is a "Set
Reminder" button that will copy the selected task information to
Outlook. You can then add a reminder to the task in Outlook.
However, if the schedule changes the Outlook task will not update.

To get a richer collaboration between Project and Outlook, you'd need
in implement Project Server.

You may find an add-on product to Project that may help. See the
companion products page at:

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
