Lesson 3: Using E-mail Based Workgroup Features

Overview

E-mail based workgroup messaging has changed little since Microsoft® Project 98. However, it is important to revisit it to look at the few changes that have occurred.

What You Will Learn

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

n  Setup and customize workgroup features

n  Describe limitations in a multi-lingual environment

n  Troubleshoot e-mail based workgroup related issues


Workgroup Setup

Workgroup setup for e-mail has both changed and not changed in Microsoft Project 2000. For users that do not have Microsoft Project installed, things are still the same. If a resource that does not have Microsoft Project installed wants to run workgroup messaging, they must still run WGSETUP.EXE on their local machine. WGSETUP.EXE has not changed from Microsoft Project 98. It still uses ACME setup.

Things are different for users who install Microsoft Project. When a user installs Microsoft Project 2000 on their system, they are not installing the workgroup messaging components that ship with the product. If they want to install these components, they must also run WGSETUP.EXE.

Users that want to use e-mail based workgroup messaging components must run WGSETUP.EXE, even if they have installed Microsoft Project 2000 on their local machines.

Although the functionality has not changed since Microsoft Project 98, the components used in workgroup messaging have been updated. The following files have been updated in Microsoft Project 2000.

File Name

Openmail.exe

Open mail MFC

Olmenu.dll

32kb

9.0

Outlook Integration

Users may be running workgroup messaging components from Microsoft Project 98 and not know it. If they have Microsoft Project 98 installed on their system before upgrading to Microsoft Project 2000, the workgroup messaging components will remain and should work under most circumstances.  Running WGSETUP.EXE from Microsoft Project 2000 will update these files to their Microsoft Project 2000 versions.


E-mail Clients

Workgroup Messaging still requires a 32-bit MAPI compliant e-mail client. The clients that Microsoft Project 2000 has been tested to run with are as follows:

n  Microsoft Outlook 2000.  Earlier versions such as Microsoft Outlook 97 and 98, though not formally tested, will also work. 

n  Microsoft Exchange on Microsoft Windows 9.x and Microsoft® Windows NT®

n  Microsoft Mail for Microsoft Windows NT

n  Lotus cc:Mail 7.0 for Microsoft Windows 9.x and Microsoft Windows NT

n  Lotus Notes 4.5a for Microsoft Windows 9.x and Microsoft Windows NT. Later versions, though not formally tested, should work fine.


Registry and .ini Settings

Workgroup Messaging requires the following registry entries and/or .ini settings. Note, however, that workgroup messaging will not be functional until windows’ messaging has been installed on the system. The registry entries required by e-mail based workgroup messaging are as follows:
