Can i integrate MS-projects and outlook such that when a task assigned to me in the project plan from MS-Projects reaches the estimated completion date, an mail should come to me in my outlook folders from the project plan in MS-Projects. Since the assigned resource for the work in Project plan is me, i should receive a mail.
Basically, the ojective is when target date reaches a mail should reach the assigned resource and if possible sit in his tasks folder of the outlook.
Thanks,
Omkar

I'm not sure what version of Project you're using, but Project 2000 allows for the automatic sending of "workgroup messages" associated with a project. The help that comes with Project references a program that needs to be run on each users PC. The program is called WGsetup.exe and is located on the Project CD.

There is also a server-based solution, called Project Central, that comes with later versions of Project.

Hope this helps.
