There is a utility for converting P3 to XER and XER to P3:
Prim73486
P3Converter.zip
Also remember P3 is a 16 bit application so it is limited to read 64 characters file names and 8 characters per subdirectory. Try copying your files into a folder with an 8 or less characters name, move the folder to your P# projects folder and try again.
Best regards,

How can I open an XER file in P3? is there a tool to convert. I have only P3 on my computer
The big difference i can see is that i can convert a .xer into a P3 files without have to open project.
And u can convert P3 files into a .XER without have to import the file.
I dont know why Primavera hides this tools ins this location ... but i use it a lot.
Regards.
Thanx Marcio, This is a great tool, but is their any difference between this tool and the normal "Import/Export" function in P5, and may i also ask why Primavera hides this tool in this location??
U can transform a .XER into a P3 - and vice versa - files using xerp330convert.exe that u can find on Common Files\Primavera Common\Convert
Regards.

You cannot RESTORE from Primavera 5.0 to P3, in the sense of P3s backup/restore. They are different database architectures, and are not directly compatible. The usual way that data is transferred is using the newer softwares import/export functionality.
