Powerproject saved as mdb

Carlo,
the ms access mdb file generated by PowerProject has a very proprietary format.
it is only possible to read and edit the data with PP8, nor MS Access or MSProject are able to do that.
I had asked the question to AstaDev, trying to know what it is made for, with no success.
Regards,

You could open the mdb in MSAccess, but it is very dangerous to change something inside because you could destroy your project. Anyhow, if you like to try it, open the table "task" in Access. Here you have all tasks from your project. But again, be carefull changing something....

ok, but there are more than 1 task table, i’ll change in every table?

Carlo, why are you willing to change anything from your PP8 project by using MS Access?

Alexandre,
yeapp, very good question...

Good question, is the same that i do to my chief...

also a new question for You.

Why powerproject can save as .mdb? only for analysis?

Carlo,
as I said in my 1st post, I have already asked asta people this question, they do not answer anything else that "to store the project data".
alexandre

ok, thanks

I also ask asta people.

If I have some differents answers I post it here

Carlo,
Finaly, I have got a better answer from Asta Technical Dpt:
Mdb file format is better used by PP8 enterprise to store several project schedules in the same location; it is advised not to open these files with MS Access, files could be severely damaged.
I hope it will help you to inform your boss.
All the best,
Alexandre
