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 fellow planners,

I recently tried to import a 400 activity schedule from MS Project 2003 into Primavera PM6, via either a MPP or XML file.

Almost everything went right, except the WBS which looks really strange: only the project level and the 1st level below are correct; starting with the 2nd level, the code is duplicated, for instance:

MyProject

  • MyProject 1
    • MyProject 1.1.1
      • MyProject 1.1.1.1.1

instead of

  • MyProject 1
    • MyProject 1.1
      • MyProject 1.1.1

Any idea of the reason why such a strange behaviour, any possible work-around will be highly appreciated and warmly welcome!

Best Regards from sunny Marseille, France
