I notice from the enterprise menu you can link external applications to P5. I have tried playing with linking MSP projects to see how this works as part of the company has not transferred to Primavera but have had no success. The manual doesn’t provide any information on this so I’m wondering if anyone has done this and had any success.

    I have used the option of saving the programme to Primavera when in MSP through the Primavera toolbar but this just gives read only access.

    To link P5 with MSP there is an application called projectlink, or something similar, that comes with the software.

    I’m cautious when moving a programme from MSP to P3e, it’s not always a smooth transition. MSP and P3e don’t always follow the same rules when it comes to things like constraints, calendar’s or resource assignments. The process I follow is to import MSP programmes into a standalone version of P3e where I can check it and fix any anomalies which have occurred during the import. Once it’s been cleaned it can go into the main database. It’s a little long winded but it saves you from having to deal with any surprises in your operating database.

    Mario,

    Thanks for that, The one thing I was struggling to achieve was linking the first/last MSP activities into Primavera to see how it impacts in the overall programme. Are you suggesting this should be possible?
