Thanks a lot for this article , this will help in setting up the dutch version document.
I've never used the pipe option, so we will have a look at this.
The Scitor mpx conversion tools works , as far as we can evaluate.., we've tried that.
On your remark about the topic activities; Topic activities can be used in P3, the only thing you have to do is change the activity type in WBS (via the Access ODBC), as the MSP2K wbs is transferred.The WBS activity has the same meaning as a topic activity, only the WBS layout should be used and a structure defined.
The conversion from MPX to P3 has another problem , you don't mention in your article, and that is that all lags on the relations are converted to hours. This results in lags about 8 times too high, which has to be corrected manually.
To be continued

This is an option, i've tried the MS-Access approach , but then you have to solve all the different table issues and queries.
I'm still looking for a one-button solution, maybe we have to write a macro of some sort to do the work.

I would prefer to transfer the file to a database file or excel sheet, (from MSP2K to db4 sheet), then you can export it to P3.I think this a safe way other than direct conversion.

Best luck
Ali
