Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi all,
I use MSP2002 for preparing plans.
I have a schedule with list of tasks finishing on fixed deadlines.
For a list of fixed tasks, there is a project leader and under him a set of team members (resources)used to work.
What I wanna do is to send a mail (automatically) to the Project leader on the perticular deadline his work is planned to be finished.

Can some1 help me to write a macro or as how to integrate MSP with Outlook.

Thanks
Regards
Ajit

I just would like to confirm if you have had a look at MS standard options.

1) When you assign resources you have used your address book. (From Outlook)

2) Have you used a command called Team Status - (Tools - Workgroup-Team Status)

This will allow you to send a email to who ever you have selected (From the resource assignment) in a specified period for work to complete.

Cheers
