Hello Caz,

Glad to hear the "set reminder" suits your needs. You're welcome for

Hello Caz,

Project 2007 has a "set reminder" button on the Tracking toolbar.
Assuming you are using Outlook, have assigned yourself to the tasks,
and
have entered an email address in the email address field, select the
task, click the "Set Reminder" button. This will add the selected
task(s) to your Outlook task list and set a reminder. **However**
if
the task shifts in Project, it does not update the information in
Outlook.

Search this newsgroup for "set reminder" for some additional
information.

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

Thanks for your help, I'm using Project 2007 and I'm also on Office
2007
small business. Is there a way i can link these two versions?

Thanks

Which version of Project are you using? From memory in the 2000
and
earlier
versions you can try the workgroup toolbar, there is an option to
set
reminders on selected tasks. I don't think they will appear in
your
calendar
but you will be reminded about them in advance of when they are
scheduled to
occur.

Again depending on which version of Project you are using the
Workgroup
functionality allows you to send assignments to people using
"Project
Mail" -
this doe work but is not supported by the 2003 version as it is
intended to
integrate with the Project Server workgroup solution. Using this
option the
assigned tasks will appear in your task list in Outlook not your
calendar.

I hope this helps.

all?

Thanks
