Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi,
I know it’s a retourning question - but...
How can I eport a MSP2000 project into P3, knowing that I don’t have the possibility to pass via MSP98, the company does not have this old version.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Desperately

Helo sylvia,

Try this it could help:

To bring MS Project 2000 data directly into P3 perform the following:

1. From within P3, select Tools, Project Utilities, Export

2. Under the Content section, export the data that you would like to bring into P3 from MS Project.

Example: If you want to populate Activity ID, Original Duration, and Remaining Duration with data from MS Project, select Activity ID, Original Duration, and Remaining Duration as your export content.

3. Under the Format section, select WK1 or DBase as the file type to be created by Exporting.

4. From within MS Project 2000, save the project as an Excel Workbook.

5. Open the MS Project Excel Workbook, and the export file created by P3, in Excel.

6. Using copy and paste, populate the fields under each appropriate column in the P3 export file, with the data from the MS Project Excel Workbook.

7. Save the export file (be sure to keep it in WK1 or DBase format). You will now use it as the import file to bring the data into P3.

8. From within P3, select Tools, Project Utilities, Import.

9. When prompted, enter the path and file for the updated P3 export file, and click Run.

Bonne chance

Hi,
Yes well spotted, and it is even worse because they upgraded to MSP2002...

I think even with the link it will still not help as the original post started by saying no access to MSP98. Hence the poster has no access to create the MPX in the first place never mind convert it thereafter.

Hi,
thanks for the answers.
well the company works with P3 and not P6.
I looked on Paul Harris site - can’t find the paper....
If you can send me the exact link and/or the msp applet I would appreciate it very much.
cheers

Hi,
Thanks, but it DOES NOT work - here why...

Bluewater Project Management Services, LLC no longer sells or supports the MPX Translator or Project Partner products

So the question still remain - how can I get out of this dilema?
cheers

Hi Sylvia,

You have to download converter file from primavera knowledge base to do the conversion of MSP 2000 file format directly into MPX file, then Click --> Tools --> MPX conversion utility, then select the MPX file to convert it into P3 files

You hav the necessary stuff using this link

http://www.bluewaterpm.com/solutions/mpx.asp

Cheers,

Ravi
