Primavera to MSP

[JimS]

I have exported a Primavera (P6) project to MSP using the standard export
function in P6. I get a single error on each task (error in column 2...),
which I'm forced to ignore. The project comes through well enough for me
except I can't identify the original TaskID from P6. Any ideas about how to
do that?

Hi Jim

Have you tried looking thought the text fields. Last time I converted from
P3, I found them in a text field (text10).

Hope this helps

So anyone looking knows...It appears that P6 has a "template" for each MSP
export that allows the TaskID to be placed in a UserDefinedField (any text
field... i.e. "Text1".) Default puts it into the "ID" field in MSP, which
must be numeric, and therefore probably caused the errors I got.

Thanks for the help, Colin.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll bear that in mind if I ever use P6
