How to import multiple projects into 2007 in one go?

[kahuna]

Need help from all the project 2007 experts on this.

I am trying to import multiple projects from a proprietary system into
Project 2007 server. Created relevant project level custom fields in 2007 to
map the fields from the above proprietary system and then downloaded all
proprietary project information into xl format. Tried importing using the
import project option, but it appears to be useful only for importing tasks
or single projects and not multiple
projects at a time.

Question for you all is what is the best way to import multiple projects
listed as separate line items in an xl sheet into Project 2007 as separate
projects?

To do the job accurately you need to use the import wizard and import
manually. The reason is that the process makes sure local resources are
mapped to the correct global resources and custom data is correctly mapped
as well. There isn't an automated way of doing this as far as I'm aware.

However you could try the project.server group.
