Cannot import MPP files to Primavera P6 V7.0

Hi guys, am having problems as with RJ, though in my case am using windows xp and p6 sp2 and ms proj 2007. I have checked out the mpptompx file Arnold said but somehow its not working.. it does some process (i think) but no progress bar and the file i was trying to convert is still an mpp and it havent created mpx file at all. btw, i am  receiving this event code "CWRBC-1016-7" with this type "EOleSysError" and description "Call was rejected by callee"  with the following detail.

Hi guys,

MS Project 2007 and 2010 simply are not compatible with Primavera PM6, whatever Windows OS you are using; that's why the MPP file format is available when you do have MSP 2003 installed instead of MSP 2007 or 2010.

You may export MSP projects as XML files and import these XML files into Primavera PM6.

Hi Alexandre

Maybe you can help me The Client want a program in MSP so I because I do not have MSP on my machine I export it from P6.7 as an XML file and open this XML file in MSP. However we noticed that the progress (actual start / finish and remaining durations) do not show. Is there something we do wrong? Is there a setting in MSP required.

Your help will be appricated as I have place this question in the forum about two weeks ago and to date had no replies.

Thanking you in advance

For restoration ms project files there is a microsoft project recovery. The program is able to start under any Windows OS. The utility can show the results of recovery as a table. It doesn't change source project data during repair.

Hi all

A big thanks to Arnold that file converter worked perfectly.  I had tried a couple of other converters previously with no success so you have just solved a huge problem for me.

Arnold,

Thanks for your convertion. the problem i am having is after converting to Mpx using your link and moving onto the process of importing to MSP. I get these two error codes (IEECF-3519-9  PRMDB-0423-C ).  when i check P6 V7 which is wat i use i find the project with the WBS with no activities.

Any suggestions

Hi

I am trying to import MSProject file 2010 version (.MPP) to P6 version 8.2

But there is no opton in P6 to convert .MPP file.

Is there any latest toll that converts MPP file cretae in MSProject 2010 version to P6 ver 8.2

Thanks in advance.

If you have can you psl email to me at skpanchadar@hotmail.com

THe guaranteed way to import from any microsoft forget all other convertion link bullshit.

First import msp into excel......

second import msp into primavera whatever version

the import to primavera will usually not come out nice from the second step. so export from primavera back to excel then import back to primavera. you shd be fine.

last when you have done this. u need to create a new eps and import wbs only into these new eps.  then finally import the first excel import from msp into this and sort under appropriate wbs..........

 try this...

Goodluck.....

I have the same issue, did you have any luck with it?

I also had the MSP file converted to MPX and still doesn't work

Thanks
