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.

Hello Pplanners,

I recently tried to import a XER file into P6 15.2, and I received the following warning/error message "This file contains resource data, import canceled"

Does anybody know the reason of this message, that I saw for the first time?

Thank you,

Alexandre
