Importing MS Project files
We recently upgraded to Build 9200 then to 9203 nd 9204. While I welcome the improvements and the many bug fixes included in this upgrade, I have 1 disappointment: importing MS Project files.
I downloaded nad inmported the sample MS Project file on the Import projects from MS Projects page and successfully imported that project file.
But when I tried to import a MS Project 2013 Standard project file, it fails with this error: Only MPP files can be imported. The file I tried to import has the MPP extension and I can successfully open it in MS Project 2013 Standard.
I then re-saved this MS Project file as a MS Project 2007 file, but, when I try to import it, the import process stays stuck on Importing. I have to cancel even after several hours.
I re-saved the original MS Project file to MS Project 2003 and then tried to import it. Again it hung on Importing.
Conclusion:
1 - the inclusion of this feature in a great step forward.
2 - but it is still clearly a work in progress and, as such, it is not very useful for your customers at this time.
