What's in store for Planner?
Robert --
I regret to tell you that the answer is "No" to each of your questions. If you need the reporting capabilities of the Microsoft Project desktop application, why don't you use this application instead of Planner? And if you are using the Microsoft Project desktop application, capture task progress in a project team meeting and enter it manually in your project schedule. Believe me, triple-entering information in Excel is a waste of time, in my opinion anyway. Just a thought. Perhaps the others in this forum will have some ideas for you.

Thanks, I need to get the information into a database, and I don't want everyone entering their information directly into the database, so that's where the spreadsheets come in. I plan to automate the whole process, but with such big changes on the horizon for Planner/ToDo/PWA/PFW, I don't want to roll something out and have it suddenly be obsolete or improved upon with new functionality. Thank you for your help. At least I have a direction to go now.
