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.

it should be installed with P3 as standard.

you can also access it from the C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS folder, look for a file called PRMCONV.EXE

Hi there,

you have done it right so far, once you have created your .mpx file you need to open P3, and click tools, MPX conversion utility, click the MPX project to a P3 project.

in the convert project from window, select the folder and file where you created the mpx file, and select the mpx file, then click o.k, then it will ask you where you want to save your P3 project.

in order to convert P3 to Microsoft Project you just click the convert P3 project to mpx project when you are in the MPX conversion utility window in P3

Hope this helps
