That said, what sorts of files (reports? project files?) does MS Project generate? -- Karsten M.

Project can read in: Project files Project templates Project workspaces MPX files Access databases Excel Workbooks Text files CSV files Project can write: Project files Project templates Web pages Project '98 files Access databases Excel Worksheet Excel Pivot Table Text files CSV files It is still a POS IMO....why won't a spreadsheet template approach work?
Post #53,049 by ChrisR 9/24/02 4:46:59 PM Reply	Documentation? I have an interest, though it's definitely on the backburner, of writing files that can be read by MSProject. Is there a definitive resource for learning how-to-do such things?
Post #53,056 by slugbug 9/24/02 4:55:14 PM Reply	not difficult... There is some info over at the msdn site (bleck!) It's not difficult though....if you create a spreadsheet you certainly can open/use/save it in Project. What exactly are you trying to do?
Post #53,065 by ChrisR 9/24/02 5:16:45 PM Reply	Trying to... ...do some team coordination software. Not so much project based as it is goal oriented. It's my moonlight job - which is why it's on the backburner. Eventually, though, I'll need to feed stuff to & from Project, as I don't really want the software to get into the intricacies of project management software.
Post #53,053 by drewk 9/24/02 4:51:32 PM Reply	Looks like it's just a frontend Which would be smart, actually. As people keep bringing up, you can simulate most of what Project does with spreadsheets and email. It makes sense that they would create a file format that is essentially a config file for how to import data from various Office apps, and then how to use other Office components to display it. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]
