    Alvaro,
    the fact is, you cannot have MS Project 2007 and Primavera P6 on the same machine; and therefore you cannot import a MSP2K7 into P6 or a P6 project into MSP2K7
    MSP2K7 does not recognize other file formats than MS Project, MS Project 2003, Excel and XML.
    If your project was not too large to do so, you could export the tables to MS Excel, then import the Excel tables into P6. I am not sure that this is realistic!
    Happy new year

    Hi Alex,

    I have never used Primavera Project Link, but i do understand that it helps to work in a MSP enivironement when still connected with P6.
