Hi there,

How do I get MS Project data from MS Access?

I notice that from MS Project you can use the Save As feature to save as MS Access. Is there another way to transfer MS project data to MS Access from MS
Access?

And when MS Project data are in MS Access, is there a way to communicate with MS Project data from MS Access, such as adding Resources name and Task
name in MS Access that will also update in MS Project?

Thanks in advance,
 
There's no easy way to do some of the things you want to do because much of the project object model is not well defined publicly.

It is possible to add some new information into an MS Access database and then import (or reimport) the data using Project but there is no, as far as I know, way to dynamic-link the two so that updating one will automagically update the other (as one can do with Excel and Word, for example).
