Hi,

I am trying to import tasks assigned to me in Project into my personal
Outlook task list - is this possible? I have found tutorials on importing
from Outlook to Project but not the other way around. Also, I like to block
off time in my day as an appointment in Outlook for a particular project,
then figure out my task list within that time - is it possible to do that?
Any help gratefully appreciated!

Since you are asking about Project's capabilities, why not ask in a group
dedicated to supporting Project?

Thanks, but it is really Outlook I am having the problem with - I probably
wasn't clear.
I am trying to organize my task list into particular appointments (I like to
block off time to work on projects, and figure out what tasks I will do in
the 4 hours assigned to whatever project) - ideally if I could then get them
to come straight from Project (I will ask about that in a Project Group also,
didn't think of that as it seems to be the importing as opposed to exporting
from Project that I can't do) that would be great.
Thanks again.

No, this is a Project problem. Outlook can import many types of data
formats, but you need to find out what formats Project can EXPORT to in
order to see if Outlook can IMPORT that exported Project data.
