Link Outlook 2003 to Project pro 2003 without the server

[Microsoft]

Hi all, Is there away of linking my projects to my outlook calendar and task
list with out having to get the server. I am a only user and really dont
need a server just for this. All I want to do is take the projects I am
working on and have them in my task list and on my outlook calendar so I
dont have to keep inputting stuff twice. I want more then just exporting my
task list to project. I want when I complete a task on the project it is
also completed in outlook or the other way around. I dont see why this is
not posible. I should be able to create a link between the two for a task. I
use this for coding projects as well as other types of projects where I
really need to see it on my calendar.

thanks
Allen

Have you tried posting in an MS Project newsgroup? I think that might be the
best place to start...

At http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1165 I have two macros -
one that exports your Project tasks to Outlook, and another that retrieves
status info from Outlook and updates Project.
Note:
Change
For Each oTask In ActiveProject.Tasks
to
For Each mspTask In ActiveProject.Tasks

I also suggest changing
olTask.Body = mspTask.Name
to
olTask.Subject=mspTask.Name
