Its Project Stand alone. I was looking at the way you could export the resources to excel (which I did manually) and the way project lets you baseline the project and give you the planned percentage expected on that day and at that current point in the project.

I am used to taking the information from project and manually putting it into excel to produce S curves.

I would like to know more about how project lets to track progress etc.

Thanks for your help

Dave,
to export resources from MS Project to MS Excel:
1. in View, Tables, More tables, prepare a resource table with all the necessary fields
2. in Files, Save as, select MS Excel worksheet, then click next until you are prompted to select data; check the Resources box, then select the table you have created

to baseline your project:
1. Tools, Tracking, Save baseline (or something close);
select the specific baseline you want (usualy "Baseline")
2. Display the Tracking Gantt

Dave, My books "Forecast Scheduling" are really good; they treat a project schedule as a 'valid, dynamic and robust model of the project to continuously forecast it. You can find these books at: www.ProjectProCorp.com Thanks! Eric Uyttewaal, the author
