Hi All,

I am finding problem in converting MS Project schedule to P3. If anybody can tell me the procedure of converting .MPP schedule to MPX so that I can open it in Primavera. I am having schedule in MS project version 2002 and I have tried lot to convert it to MPX, so that it can be read by P3 but till date I am not getting any success.

Actually I am not good at MS project and need your favor to solve the problem. Hope you will help me.


Regards,

    Hi,
    MS Project 2002 does not save projects to MPX format; you would need MS Project 98 or 2000 to be able to do that.
    You will find on the Internet two small apps that let you convert MPP files to MPX: www.sciforma.com developped MPX2000.EXE, and www.primavera.com also has one.

    Hi,
    save the excel file as a Lotus 123 file (.wk1 extension)
    then import this file into P3
    Cheers
