(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.

In a project that I have now, the client wants to use MS Project. I have done the complete time schedule in Primavera planner 3.1 and used the MPX conversion.

When trying toopen in MSProject I got the message
"An unexpected error ocurred during command execution ....." which is not very clarifying.

Does any one have a hint about this problem ??

Thank’s

Jose,
Consider just exprt the necessery information from P3 into DBF. Then import it into MSP.
The painful process is activity ID re-numbering, not the others.
Also consider import that MPX into MSP 95 version and then save it into MPP for MSP2002

Hi jose,

Porco Karelio

You must remember to save to mpx. A further problem, is that MSP does not have code structures, so you have to go through the excercise of putting in the headings, or indents, or whaever they call it, It is a painful excersize, but at the end of the day if that is what they want, deliver. Give me a shout if you are struggling

Thanks Alexandre

The export facility to MPX is the one built inside the P3 it self. I have no control on the field that P3 exports.

THe version of MS Project is 2002, and I tryed to use the standard open file choosing type MPX. Also no control about the way MS project imports.
