PRJ98: Microsoft Project Documents Not Added to Outlook Journal (176311)

SYMPTOMS

When you create a Microsoft Project 98 file, this file is not recorded in the Microsoft Outlook Journal folder.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Microsoft Project entries are not recorded in the Outlook Journal folder until you open or save a Microsoft Project 98 file while Outlook is running.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, start Outlook and then start Microsoft Project. When you open or save the Microsoft Project file, an entry will be added to the Outlook Journal folder. The next time you open or save a Microsoft Project file, the information will be added to the Outlook Journal automatically, and Outlook will not have to be running.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Although the Journal feature is turned on when you install Microsoft Project 98, you may have turned it off. If this feature is turned off, documents will not be added to the Journal. To automatically record documents in the Journal folder, you must turn this feature on in Microsoft Outlook. To do this, follow these steps:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Journal Tab.
In the "Also record files from" box, click to select the Microsoft Project check box.
Click OK.
