Dear Planners,

I have been asked to convert my programme from P3 to MSP2003. This was not a problem for the project schedule, but I am unable to bring my baseline with me.

Is there away I can use my P3 Baseline on my MSP2003 project? To my knowledge MSP2003 creates the baseline from the data within the project, and does not use an external file as the baseline.

Any help appreciated!

    I know nothing of how P3 exports data so that it can be imported by MSPrj.

    Perhaps you could begin by telling me the process and describing the file exported by P3.

    Damien,
    a) I would export both the P3 schedule and the target data to wk1 or dbf files (wk1 files do not accomodate more than 2500 rows)
    b) Then save a blank MS Project file as Excel worksheet with all the necessary fields (see: export map in the online help if necessary)
    c) Then open the wk1 or dbf files with Excel
    d) Then carefully paste the date from these files to the template created in b)
    e) Then open the Excel file in MS Project
    f) Cross fingers as much as necessary
    Nota Bene: I hope that your P3 scheduling options are MS Project compatible (constraints, ...)
    Tell me if it worked well when you are finished
