Need Suggestions On Good Time Tracking Software

As of next week, I'll be basically getting my paycheck from three different companies here in Sunriver. It's a long story, really. While the first company linked will be the ones actually signing my paycheck (like usual), I'll be doing a crapload of work for the other two as well, and I need to track my time appropriately so that my employer can make sure things are billed out appropriately.

Does anybody have any suggestions on project and time tracking software? I have access to the various Microsoft products (Project, for example) and the time tracking functions in Quickbooks. I'd prefer something that would either integrate with either Outlook or Quickbooks, as I work in both of those quite a bit (preferbly Outlook -- haven't really had a chance to play with Quickbooks time tracking functions, but I have them here if need be).

Anybody have any suggestions? Cheap is always good, but free is even better.

I've been looking for the same thing. Have you had any good responses?

Not a single one....:-(

But if you come up with something, let me know.

Jake,
I want to preface by stating that I have never used this product - it is highly recommended on my tax mailing lists though: http://www.chaossoftware.com/products.asp
Scroll down to version 5 - you can download it and use it for free. Version 6 is $45.00 and there are bunches of addons - all for a price of course.
