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.

Nizam,
P6 doesn’t support MS Project 2007. You have to save it as MSP 2003 or below. MS Project must be also installed on the same machine where P6 is installed. If MSP is not install use MPX or html format instead.
