I thought it was a trick question! We use the Microsoft Enterprise Project Management (EPM) solution based on Project Server 2003 (with a migration RSN to 2007), which does all those things. But, that might be overkill for 50 users? Cheers, Brian

Project will be continued to be used in project working. The scheduler system should enable activity to be recorded by required date. Under each activity it should be able to: * Record the resources needed to complete the activity * Record the date that the activity needs to be completed * Record the activity that needs to be completed * Attach copies of documents to the activity * Provide a % compete tally * Have an activity type category such as event, data, print, system down-time activity * Set a reminder system against each activity In addition to this the system should be able to: * Print out in calendar format showing the different activity scheduled for a particular period * This calendar should be able to filter by activity type so that we can see patterns of different type of activity * The calendar should be able to be exported to support sending by email / posting onto other documents / systems * Send reminders to resources when activity is due if required * Identify if an activity is late * Be accessible by a number of different users at the same time. I have no experience of this type of software, does anybody out there use anything like this? I would assume that there would be about 50 users, and the system MUST be compatible with CITRIX Thanks Laurence ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
