 Plan
is a project planner which is similar to, and
compatible with, Microsoft Project. Plan for
Windows is supported on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista
based desktop PCs.
Plan for Windows can be used in various
ways:
- As a viewer for Microsoft Project
files - it can directly read and write Microsoft Project files (MPP/MPD/MPX
can be read, MPD/MPX can be written)*.
- As an inexpensive alternative to
Microsoft Project. Plan doesn't have all the bells and whistles of
Microsoft Project, but this makes it much easier to use. This makes it
a highly cost effective
alternative to Microsoft Project.
- As a stand-alone project planning tool
- it is a fully functional project estimation tool. It supports
creation and editing of project plans, including recalculation of a
project schedule.
- Use in conjunction with Pocket Plan on
a Pocket PC or Handheld PC. This allows you to access and update your
project plans anywhere - at your desktop or in a meeting or anywhere
else via your Pocket PC.

If using
the product on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT or 2000 and you
want to open or save files in the MPD file format then
the Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.5 or
greater must be installed (mdac_typ.exe). This
component is included as standard with Windows XP, but
must be installed on other versions of Windows.
Plan
will function without MDAC, but when you come to save or
open an MPD file it will prompt you to install MDAC if it
is missing.
If you
find that you need to install MDAC then the version you need is version 2.5
service pack 3 and can be
downloaded from Microsoft website, click on this link:
