Hi Zoltan,

 

Thanks for the reply. I was just asking where the option to select Code or Coding is as when i right click above the numbers on the left handside this does not come up as an option in MSP

 resolved this issue last week. There were lines of hidden coding in the MSP files which were preventing the import. I'm guessing that these would have prevented an MPX import too. Anyone having issues in the future try right clicking above the numbering on the lefthand side, select coding and delete the codes. Don't delete the columns - just the code and then it should import fine.

Hi guys,

I've receievd a few PM's on this so thought I'd provide an update. I actually resolved this issue last week. There were lines of hidden coding in the MSP files which were preventing the import. I'm guessing that these would have prevented an MPX import too. Anyone having issues in the future try right clicking above the numbering on the lefthand side, select coding and delete the codes.

Stacey,

Collabro's Legare always works.  It converts anything, even MSP, to P6.

Could you reccommend any conversion tools for converting msp to mpx?

Hi Zoltan

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have the option to save as an mpx file only xml.

as a work around save these as mpp then convert the mpp to an mpx and then import the mpx inot p6
