Hey, trying to export a P6 project to MS Project, every time I run through the process it says completed but with errors, please see log, the information in the log isn't particularly helpful and I can't see where I'm tripping up.

Does anyone have experience of this process?

    Aaron Primavera and MS

    Primavera and MS Project aren't 100% compatible with each other when you exchange data between the two, so it's always worth checking the results!

     

    Which format of MS Project export are you using?  MPX?  XML 2002/2003?  XML 2007?

     

    Depending on what version of P6 and what version of MS Project you are using, you could use the project link functionality, this allows a project to be 'checked out' for updating/managing in MS Project and then checked back in once you have finished?

    Hey Andy I'm using the latest

    Hey Andy

    I'm using the latest version of Primavera 6.7 and trying to dump a Project into MS Project 2003. I was using XML 2002/2003.

    I'll have a try with your suggestion and see how I go. Worst case scenario I can easily copy the P6 information in Excel, then copy it across into MS Project, but that means reinserting all my activity relationships and reorganising all my activities which I wanted to avoid doing.
