convert MPP(MS2003) to MPX

This is a probleme since Microsoft no longer support their own format. From MSP helpfiles:

"Microsoft Project Exchange (MPX)

An ASCII (ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange.) format used with project management and various other programs that support MPX 4.0. This format uses the .mpx extension. Microsoft Project 4.0, Microsoft Project 4.1, and Microsoft Project 98 use the MPX 4.0 file format. In Microsoft Project 2000 (and later versions), you can no longer save project information to this file format, but you will be able to import field data from this format."

One sulution is to save the project as .MPD or .MDB with MSP.
Download and install Safran Planner evaluation.
Import the .MPD or .MDB to SP and then export the project to .MPX.

I have not tried this, but can’t see why it should not work.
However, each change in format can cause a problem and here we do two changes. Three if you are importing to P3.

Hi,

OPTION 1
- Go to sciforma and download MPX2000.
- Use this tool to convert your MPP schedule to MPX.


OPTION 2
- Save the current MSP file as MPP98.
- Open in MSP 98 and save as MPX.

Regards.

You can go the the p3 knowledgebase and download the mpp to mpx converter.
