Hi

We have tried creating .mpx files from suretrak v3.0c, we are doing this by "Save As" .MPX.

When we try to open these with MS Project 2000 SR1 (or 2003) we are getting Errors.

Either Macro Errors or errors regarding memory.

This used to work but does not seem to.

Thanks in anticipation

    You’re dead right it doesn’t work. MSP no longer supports mpx files and hasn’t since, I think, MSP 98. You can copy/paste the data via excel and import it that way. but you’ll need separate file for activities and relationships and, probably, constraints.

    Best of luck.

    Going from SureTrak to MSP is always a problem as SureTrak is richer in scheduling functionality, such as allowing two relationships per task and two relationships per task which MSP does not allow and creates error messages.

    There is a technical article on my web site, at www.eh.com.au. which may help you
