Beth,

the P3 "mpx-to-P3" engine does not fully understand the data that MS Project has sent to its mpx file

almost every time you will import into P3 a MPP file you will have such errors

Paul Harris recommends to export the MSP file to an Excel worksheet or a dBase file then to import this file into P3.

No constraints..already checked that. Since it is picking up the project overview will finish date, I am with Dieter that is some issue between MPP and P3. New projects I entered myself I have no issues only the ones I imported from Project. Thanks for the help. Beth

The most probable answer of odd floats in the programme is CONSTRAINTS. Check if you have hard constraints assigned to those activities.

Dieter,



Thanks for your reply. I do not have access to P6. I have noticed that my new projects are fine so it must something I cannot affect. Thanks again.

Some time ago we had a similar situation and couldn’t solve it the direct way. But when we imported MSP into P6, then exported into P3 it was ok. Honestly, I don’t know why.
