Can I import my project from MS Project 2007 to P6?

Posted Fri, 01/16/2009 - 14:36 by admin

Primavera P6.0 and P6.1 does not support importing MS Project 2007 based projects.

However, if you are running P6.2, Microsoft Project 2007 files can be imported into Primavera, however, not using Microsoft's .mpp file format.  In Microsoft Project 2007, the project must first be saved as a .xml file.  It can then be imported into P6.2

Please contact us if you have questions or need assistance with importing Microsoft files into Primavera.

Why do I get a permission error when I try to import P3 projects into P6?

P3_to_P6 error

From the screenshot above, we can conclude that a missing permission is the cause of this problem.
