I need to work on the same project out of two offices, one with only the version 4.1 and one that has upgraded to 5.0. I will not be allowed to upgrade 4.1 for several months and was wondering if anyone has had experience with going back and forth in these two versions. Knowledgebase just says it can be done, but I would like to know of any experiences and if there were problems with the compatability.

Oldest first- 0Ronald Winter ·One thing is for certain, you shouldn’t need to worry about this problem for very long. Primavera has had a long-standing policy of only supporting software one version removed from the current. With the introduction of P6 (now delayed to August 2007,) Version 4.1 should no longer be supported. This means that when this 4.1 has problems with the only WIN operating system being sold (Vista,) that there will not be a fix forthcoming. I know of several petrochemical companies who are going to have to make some quick decisions on this issue.
As for converting back and forth – User Defined Fields (UDLs) will not fare well as P4.1 has a limited, strict set of fields and P5 is loose and unlimited. I suspect that P5 will import P4.1 better than P4.1 will import P5. Look to the Primavera Knowledgebase for more. Good luck!
