Hi All,

First of all let me congradulate the ProjectLibre team for this wonderful product. This is very good and helpful. I have started loving it. Well , I am new to Project management and asked to develop a project plan. I have completed it and sending it to my Senior Manager for further approvals. He wants the file in MPP format. Does any future available to export/save as MPP ?

Also, the tasks are not appearing fully when i take the report ( Report - > Task Information - > Default ) . Is there a character limitation ? The same happens when i export to Excel.

The current save-as is .xml.  Thank you for the nice compliment.  The .xml format should be able to be simply opened in MS Project for your manager.

One new project created in msproject and changed the percent complete of activities in projectlibre, and reopen in msproject, has changed the percent for 75% to 83% and 50% to 43%.

Hi there,  that is odd.... there are occasionally issues with importing/exporting but it is usually with 3rd party systems that do not have the correct xml format.  If there is a slight difference it creates a problem.  In this case, you are using MS Project and ProjectLibre so that is odd.... can you check in the Project Dialog Box to ensure both have the same project status date?  That almost seems to be the most likely.  If you want to send the project file I can take a look [email protected]
