Time and time again I see people trying to import MS project files into Primavera and getting into a palaver over import errors.The first thing I see is “you should use MPP to MPX converter” – this is an executable that has been around at least 10 years to my knowledge and generally seems to fail to convert files that fail to import from XML – my preferred way of importing projects.
So why do these files fail?
I don’t think we ever stop learning about the tools we use at work, so this blog is about tools and techniques I discover or get asked about. I hope to update this at least monthly.
