I would like to know what Microsoft product(s) would be could used for the following results and what the price of the recommended product would be: I work for a small company that would like to keep track of the following: 1. the workload of each employee, 2. how many hours are assigned to each each employee for a project, 3. How many hours each employee have spent on each project, 4. A way to tell if an employee is on track for meeting the project deadlines, 5. A way to tell an employee how many hours they should be working on each project they are assigned to. 6. A way to set priorities on the workload for each employee. 7. A way to change the priotities of each employee dynamically. **I would consider products where I would need to do some setup and/or programming on my side. Thanks!

No. Exchange is not the product you're looking for here based on your seven requirements. Isn't Project Server the thing you should be looking at? (speaking from a point of total ignorance about PS I admit!)
Yes.. Project offers integration with Outlook as well, if that's what you're after: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa164876(office.10).aspx -- Bharat Suneja MVP - Exchange www.zenprise.com NEW blog location: exchangepedia.com/blog ------------------------ "Mark Arnold [MVP]" wrote in message news:l362q31iqvhduukga4jdlnfpa2mrpb8003@4ax.com... > On Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:16:03 -0800, Wendy Elizabeth > wrote: > >> I would like to know what Microsoft product(s) would be could used for >> the >>following results and what the price >>of the recommended product would be: >> >> I work for a small company that would like to keep track of the >> following: >> 1. the workload of each employee, >> 2. how many hours are assigned to each each employee for a project, >> 3.
