The in and out of it......

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?

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.

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]
