I tried doing a search on this topic, and found some threads but nothing that really helped.
I am currently working on a project in which the client is requiring us to give them a copy of the schedule in MS Project. I am not a scheduler, but work in Project Controls and am trying to help out the schedulers. Here is the problem:
When the schedule is converted and opened in MS Project the durations are all jacked up. The dates are transferring wrong, with the finish dates being moved way out.
They have tried converting it to MPX and to XML and the XML version was even worse. When they tried to do this through excel the WBS hierarchy was not there (although it was exported from P5 and there was a field for it in excel.
Thanks for any help!
