Import XML from command line to MS Project

[ron.vdm]

Hi All,

We have an issue where we have a MS Project XML file that we want to
import and merge into an existing MS Project MPP file. Does anyone know
of a way to do this ? I know you can manually go into the project and
then do a merge, but we would like it to be executed from a command
line at MS Project start up, specifying the MPP file, and the XML file
to merge in, so that when the user sees the file, they see the merged
data.

Than You

There isn't a command line command that does that, but you can do it with a
VBA macro running on open looking for an xml file with the same name (apart
from the extension).

Thanks Rod,

I'll give this a shot.
