I am glad the reference I obtained from this forum helped.
Regarding the import resources to P6 issue here I cannot help you as we do not use P6. We use Suretrak as the 10,000 limit on activities is enough for our needs.
nevertheless the issues are the same/similar.
I have successfully imported resources into Suretrak with this utility without the need of any additional steps.
I am sure someone else in this forum will pick up the issue and help you out.

Did you tried with the conversion utility by Primavera MppToMpx.exe?
You can download it from the following link previously posted under another but similar topic. http://www.projectstatus.com/pub/PubFiles/MppToMpx.exe
I use this utility to import mpp files to Suretrak, I do not have any other Primavera Software as all my clients do use Suretrak. At previous job locations I had network access to old reliable P3, also access to unreliable P3e which after many attempted upgrades is now called P6 (don’t know if still unreliable) so there is no way I can try the conversion with these other Primavera applications. Beware no way file conversions will be 100% complete/reliable, use it once then keep using your Primavera Software.

Hi Alexandre

i convted MPP file to MPX, Then i import it to P6 (stand alone),while importing i get the following error

Event code PRMDB-1922-5

after this error when i go to see (in project window) wether the import has taken place or not, the imported project is reflected there but when i click on it to open,it shows me the error

"WBS was deleted by another user"

and the project disappears from the EPS (Project windows)
i am using MSP 2007, Windows vista (1st laptop)
MSP 2003,Windows XP (2nd laptop)
