Hi All,

I'm having an issue importing mpx files from MS Project into Primavera P6 v 17.12.

In terms of the msp file, I've ensured there are no blank rows and that there is no logic or resources loaded against summary tasks. The calendar assinged to the project is standard. I then use the MPPToMPX file convertor to convert the file from .mpp format to .mpx format, ensuring the 'process resource calendar exceptions' check box is selected. No issues so far.

I then go through the standard import process:

• Select Microsoft Project (MPX) Import Format
• Import Type - Project
• Files to Import - I select the MPX file, create new project and import to location.
• Template - I use a standard template that keeps all existing global data types and updates all project data types, with all other settings as default

The import process progresses until I get a notification 'Calendar record was already added by another user. The other user's data will be used'. I have had that before and have had no further issues with the import after clicking 'ok'.

I then get an application event error msg:

After selecting exit, I then receive a second error message:

I've checked the calendar that already exists and it's identical to what I'm trying to import. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jesse
