Hi,

I am using P5 & while trying to import a microsfot project (.mpp), I am getting the following error. Can anyone help?

"Cannot Save Project. Microsoft Office Project does not support saving projects into ODBC, MPD or MDB formats. Please save the file in a format that is supported by project"

Thanks & Regards
Naveen

    You need to have MSP on the same machine as P5 in order to import the .mpp files.

    Check you have.

    Naveen,
    P5 only support MS Project 2003 below. If you have MS Project 2007 then you will not be able to import MPP.
