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.

when i try to import a MSP 2007 Verion file into Primavera 6.1, i get following error which is strange.

"Microsoft Office Project doenst support saving project into ODBC,MPD or PBD formats, please save the file in the format that is supported by MS project. "

Does anybody know tha way around it?

many thanks in advance

cheers

doesnt metter, even you save it in version 2003 (MSP), IT Atually uses the software system currently installed on your machine (in this case its MSP 2007).

you have to have MSP 2000, 2002/3 in order to import a MS project files into Primavera 5 or 6

but i am still looking for solutions.
cheers

Why not save in MSP 2003 ( as you can in MSP 2007 ) and then import / open up in P6 ? I think this can only be done in standalone P6 - not intranet licence based.

The installation of MSP 2007 disables the import feature of P6.

Unloading MSP 2007 may resolve your problem.
