I am certainly late, but I just found this post today
As baseline in MS Project is contained in particular fields in the same project instead of being a separate project as in Asta or P6, my suggestion is as follows:
a) import the Asta baseline project into a separate MSP file
b) retrieve the Start, Finish, Work, Cost fields iin this second file, and the Baseline Start, etc fields in the main MSP file (Tracking table and so on)
c) carefully copy and paste the Start, Finish, Work, Cost fields into the Baseline Start, etc fields
Here you are; I did so several times (not on daily basis), mainly when training people on MSP; it works fine
Hi Dominic
Asta has the facility to switch back and forth between MSP but it can be a bit erratic.
It should work OK with just a simple barchart but Asta baseline programmes are a separate entity and I have never tried to convert one of those.
