Howzit JOel (Long time no speak)
The limitations on MSP are all self-imposed.
I've just had to migrate a 40 000 activity schedule from P6 to MSP and (although it took a while), I didn't have any problems.
It's a trial and error exercise... shift everything to excel, copy and paste and see what's missing or screwing it up.
Funnily enough, I'm busy writing up a Macro to make life a bit easier and do this automatically.
Have fun

Henk,
does it matter for the end user if the program works well? I think that the data structure is the developers problem and developers choice. They can choose non-standard approaches and if the result is good then it does not matter for the project planners if the program data structure is organised this or another way.

Cor,
Now you have mentioned the key problem of MS-Project.
"structure"
I think planning tools should be based on database structures and not a spreadsheet environment like MS-Project

Henk
If you do so,
Make a good start with the structures in MS Project.
If you spend some time on the structures, it will be as organaised as in P3.
If Possible, make Resource pools to use for many subprojects.
Plan in small Projects, so that you can merge them into one or more major projects.
Plan the plan
just do not try to resource iy
MSP has no problem handling such kind of project,but you need prepare something to make your schedule well organized,just like in P3 you need to define activity code...
MSP standard do not work on network. you need MSP profesional and project server to work in a network
Hi Joel,
What a mess your into?
Anyway i did MS Project with 35,000 activities. The software I used was the MS Project Japanese version. My boss though I knew Japanes which I said "I dont know Japanese. I told him it looks like it had the same layout/buttons/commands as the english version.
It was really nothing, just Gantt Chart with relationship and baseline. An improvement of the Excel Graph.
Our project management team did not reguired us to dig deeper in the same level as Primavera.
I hope this will help.
Cheers,
Charlie
