Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can anyone advise on how to convert a pp programme into MSP? And just to make it a bit more of a challenge - I have the Asta viewer - not the PP software - can this be done without PP license?

Hi Varun,

What version of Asta Powerproject are you using?  In the latest release, version 13, you can simply save your file to MS Project XML format or now also .mpp if you have MS Project installed alongside Asta Powerproject.

The help files are full of advice on any differences between how the data is converted so do take a read of those to understand the process best.

Thanks,

Ben

I totally agree with Alex that saving in XML format by using PP version 8and opening in MS project may not serve your purpose because by doing that you will lost a lot of data especially colour coding therefore it is advisable to use ASTADE macros first and then import XML file.

The other way is if you can get the originator of the PP file to send you the file exported in xml format.
