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.

Hello, 

What is the easiest and quickest way of exporting from P6 to MSP without dates and hours looking mental? I've tried doing a straightforward export but a lot of my dates have changed, even for completed activites, and the work is also incorrect?

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

The only safe way to do it is to use Collabro's Legare software.

ah.. thanks. Tried that yesterday, dates were all over the place. 

Looks like I'll need to check the dates of 2000 activities line by line

Thanks anyway

try the html method

does not matter what you do they will never match the way msp handlesa wbsis different,  calendars are different, the alogrithm calculation for the forward and backward pass is different, the way MSp handles milestone is different. Just be glad that you do noy have to type the activities again
