I have a small software project. I have 2-3 contract programmers

coordinate their work using a project management program.

I have played around with Project a little as a stand-alone program.

In my office, I do not have a server. We use a 2-node p2p network. We
are running Windows XP and Office 2007.

Can I install Project on a web site and allow access to each of the
contractors more or less like I assume it would work if it were
installed on a server and each programmer was connected to that
server?

If so, which version of Project do I need to buy for the web site?

Do I need to buy a copy for each person who will access the project?
Which version for that?

This may not be a fair question on a Microsoft NG, but is there a
better way to do what I am trying to do? I am not particularly
concerned about cost. If Project can do what I want, I will spend the
money to buy it.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

LurfysMa,
No, you can't place or run Project on a website. If money is no object,

Money is not "no object", but I am willing to pay for functionality.

one simple alternative is to buy a stand alone copy of Project for each
contract programmer.

Would that allow everyone to share the same project file? I wouldn't
want to get into a situation where we are shipping project files back
and forth and having multiple people making updates.

I'm looking for a solution that will allow multiple people to access
the same physical database so that everyone sees the same data and
updates are made in one place.

Maybe you could work out an arrangement that while
they are on contract to you they can use Project, but when their
contract is over, they delete Project from their PC and return the
application to you.

The latest version of Project is Project 2007, but depending on your
needs you could probably use an earlier version (e.g. Project 2003)
which would save some money and still give you the basic project
management tools.

I don't do Project Server, but there might be some advantages to that
type of installation for your business. I suggest you also post to our
sister newsgroup, microsoft.public.project.server. Include the fact that
you already posted here.

Whatever you do, each user of Project will need a license.
