Hi Mallesha,



Follow the following steps:



1. Open the project you wanted to export.

2. Go to File Menu --> Export

3. In Export Format, Select Primavera Contractor 5.0 - (XER) then NEXT

4. Export Type --> Project then NEXT

5. Project to Export --> NEXT

6. In File Name, select the location where to SAVE your .xer file

7. Select Finish when done.



Other way around is by opening using Notepad.



Follow all the Steps above except step #3 instead select Primavera PM/MM - (XER)



After finishing the export. Go to the .xer file, select & right click & open with NOTEPAD. Change 6.0.0 to 5.0.0 and then SAVE.



HTH.
