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.

hi Arun,

activity code should work,

try sending it to one of your mates and see if he gets the same result as urs PC.

and play around with the settings,,,

- also, if that fails, send it to Primavera
and see if they can import the thing u r trying to import,
cause did u know u pay them maintenance, and they are quite helpful in these things.



--- alternatively, and last resort, cause i dont recommend u to buy my tool, if u r going to load one off,
but if it is a regular thing that u r doing,

then check this url out. --- download the working version, cause this tool can assign codes in seconds mate.

hi
it should import from MS project ok.

- go and check the import configuration to make sure that you have mapped the MS proj field to go into P5.


- regarding activity codes, that should come ok,
check ur import settings to make sure that is set to create. not ignore or similar.

i do have another solution, which is my Tool,
but you dont need to use it for this purpose of importing MSP. cause its a standard fucntion, it should work

cause u r importing from MSP, which it should work!. know what i mean.
