Hi Dieter:
Ahmet Cetin, a member from www.primaveratools.com forum, give the tips to solve the problem and its to CUT & paste from WBS, and it will work excellent by updating all the links.
Concerning why I have to do it? it is a contract requirement that each X period I have to give a syncronize xer file "EP + CC", to the client.
Thanks for your advice.
Manfredo.
Hi Manfredo
its by design. I dont know a way to remove the links while copying/moving in the WBS-view.
As for the monthly report the customer wouldnt realize how many Primavera-projects you use. I never had a partner who refused this way of planning/scheduling. We do it for a better data exchange with e.g. engineering companies. In general they are not interested in the construction part of a project.

Dieter
Dietrick:
Thanks for your answer.
Definitely the best way to do this, it is by the WBS option (copy and paste), but my problem is as follow, suppose the following links:
Link 1: File A – Activity 1 successor File B – Activity 2
Link 2: File B – Activity 3 predecessor File A – Activity 1
After merging, with copy and paste, Link 1 still remains.
And why I am merging the two projects? It is a Client requirement for the monthly report.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Manfredo.
Hi Manfredo
In the view WBS it is very easy to merge - as you did already I assume. Remaining links show that still some activities are in the old project. Maybe the most efficient way: Open view "Activities" --> Group by whatever, but not project or WBS --> add column WBS --> modify For the first activity to be moved --> fill down.
Be careful, dangerous command!
But why do you want to merge? If youll open both projects the same time, P5 will regard them as one graph - one project. Both better have the same data date. But you have the freedom to open just one part.
Regards
Dieter
