Dieter ,
Lovely solution. I tried and working perfect.
Thanks a lot...

Hi Suresh
It must be a normal Editor: Notepad (--> see Davids post), Editor, or Wordpad. Never use a wordprocessing software (Word, Open Office, WordPro...), because this will add many control blocks, formatting and others. The XER-file would be destroyed.
Only work with a copy!

XER can be opened with Notepad. This is useful for doing quick integrity check prior to importing projects from other databases.
Hi Dieter
Could you pls explain me on which editor we can open the xer file. Do you mean like MS Word or something ?
Pls explain in more detail.
thnx
Suresh
Hi Suresh
Some time ago I had to import 2.1-files into P5. It worked with a small trick.
Primavera by default only allows to import from the previous version. 2 things to be done:
1. The information by which version the xer was produced is in the first line. Youll modify 3.5 to 5.x - your version.
2. Check if a group name was modified. I dont believe this is the case. If yes youll change it to the new name.
(In the bove mentioned case I had to do it.)
You can open a xer-file with any editor.

Dieter
