Hi,
Over the last 6 months, a schedule I have been receiving as an xml export from PowerProject has been importing into MSP incorrectly. By this, I mean a significant number of tasks are only showing as 0 days duration (and both start/finish dates also showing as the same date), and the remaining tasks are showing wildly varying differences to the pdf schedule that is provided at the same time.
Prior to July 2020), I had no issues at all with the xml file importing with all durations and dates matching the pdf schedule.
As a check on my own copy of MSP being the cause of the problem, I saved one of my own MSP projects as an xml then re-imported - exact match. Similarly I exported a couple of colleague's MSP files as xml and imported using my laptop - again, no issues. I also asked the same colleagues to try importing the "rogue" xml file on their laptops, and they had the same issue as I do.
Just wondering if there has been a change in PowerProjects way of creating xml files, as in another forum, someone who had been importing xmls created by Primavera had a similar issue, and this turned out to be a new originator exporting to the P6 xml format and not a MSP compatible format - does PowerProject also offer a number of variations on xml format?
Many thanks.
