Link a Microsoft Project schedule to an existing Milestones Professional schedule

Question:     

I generated a Milestones Professional schedule from scratch based on the data in one of my Project Files.  (I didn't import them.)  So now that I've done this, is there a way to link the symbols on the schedule back to the right tasks in Project so I can later update the Milestones symbols and bars whenever the dates in Project change?

Question:

I want to import information from Microsoft Project, but none of the standard wizard choices fit my needs.  Is there a way to design the import myself?

 

Answer:

What you need to do is "link" the symbols on your schedule to your Microsoft Project schedule.  Once the schedule is linked to your Microsoft Project schedule, it can be refreshed (updated) with the latest dates from Project.
