Can anyone recommend a (free) MS Project Viewer? 1

[weberm]

I received a .MPP file but do not have access to MS Project. Can anyone recommend a free viewer?

I have not found a free viewer that consistently works.

There are several low cost & demo of viewers.
Here is one:

Here is another:

And one more:

Here is a link to a free web based Project manager that can import mpp files:

and another one:

A different web service with pricing starting at free:

You could obtain a 60 day evaluation copy of Microsoft Project. After the 60 day expiration it will act as a viewer only.

From Microsoft:

View project information if you don't have Project installed

* If you have Microsoft Office Project Web Access 2003, you can ask the project manager to publish the project and to give you permission to view the project. You can then view the project in Project Web Access.
* If you don't have Project Web Access, but you can contact the file's creator, that person can distribute the information online.
* If you don't have Project Web Access, and you cannot contact the file's creator, you can obtain a 60-day evaluation copy of Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003.

cmeagan656,

That's awesome to know! I mean, I don't think you could really find a better situation than that if the person only needs a reader anyway. I'll try to remember that.

@weberm,

You can also try MOOS Project Viewer (although it is not free):

@fisheromacse,

The one from RationalPlan is free from what I know...
