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.

Dear Planners,

I convert a project from MS Project to P3, but when it is converted to P3, I found that all activities are independent, is there anybody know why?
Anyway, I used global change to change it to task.

Regards,

Moutaz

By default activities are "Independent" in MSP. That is when a resource is assigned to an activity then it will acknowledge the resource calendar, unless one checks the "Do not acknowledge resource calendar box". MSP does not have a equivalent to a Meeting task so they are often correctly imported as Independent. But as there are so many ways of importing a MSP schedule into P3 I am not sure they all treat the tasks the same way.
