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.

Dear All,

I have imported a project from P6 to MSP 2007. The import was successful. But I have noticed that the Summary tasks shows the durations in Days while the subtasks / activities are in Hours. Also the predessor linkages are the(activity numbers + period in hours).

How to change the time period from hours to days?

Rohit

You have to overtype the durations with the day value.

Ther is an article on my web site under technical articles about importing Microsft Project files into P6 that may inteterest you:
