So perhaps the title of this blog is a little over the top, but I had a customer recently who needed help when their .mpp file became corrupt due to a VPN issue (I think the file was left open on the file server when the VPN link was terminated)!

It’s really nice when someone takes an idea and runs with it, creating something that is bigger and better than the original; and so it is with my original blog on Exporting Tasks to Outlook which has now been turned into an application. So, if you want an easy way to export tasks . . . → Read More: Exporting Tasks from Project to Outlook – now available as an add-in for Project 2010/2013 and Project Pro for Office 365

It’s been a while since I last discussed Teams and Team Resources, and having learnt something new recently (kudos goes to Eric Uyttewaal who is always very willing to share his expertise) I thought it was time to re-visit the topic.

Back in March this year, I presented a webcast for Microsoft called Sharing and Collaborating with Microsoft Project. If you’re interested in watching it, it’s available here, and the slides can be downloaded separately from OneDrive if you want to re-use them (please credit me if you do use them!).

Most problems (or opportunities of course) arise from customer queries; really, if it wasn’t for you guys keeping me on my toes I would just spend everyday cycling…. Some days I combine Project and Project Server with cycling….

I was lucky enough to attend and present at the Project Conference 2014 in Anaheim, California. This is the bi-annual Project “love-in”, comprising a mixture of customers, Microsoft folks, partners and MVPs, and the 4th or 5th that I’ve attended (and spoken at). There were some great sessions, and the focus really was . . . → Read More: Project Conference 2014 slides and demos available

Change highlighting is beautiful, but there are times when you do not want to display it, for instance when you want to print the view.

As usual, most of my posts are inspired by customer requests (I don’t sit at home thinking up scenarios to blog about regardless of what my wife thinks!), and this one turned out to be surprisingly easy to resolve, even though I initially went about it the wrong way.
The request was fairly simple, . . . → Read More: Getting at Task Notes in Excel or other reports from Project Server
By Ben Howard, on July 17th, 2013 When I review the statistics on my blog, one of the most popular ones is Exporting tasks into Outlook – http://www.applepark.co.uk/exporting-tasks-from-project-into-your-outlook-calendar/. I’m not sure how many people have implemented the solution outlined, but I suspect those that have implemented it have done so on a personal basis.
