Microsoft Project MPP file

I installed RiskyProject 2.1 without any problems. Then I tried to open MPP file created Microsoft Project 2003. RiskyProject presented a message: wrong file format. Does RiskyProject support MS Project 2003 MPP files?

RiskyProject supports MPP files created by MS Project 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007. Most likely you have your MPP file opened by MS Project when you tried to read it in RiskyProject. Please close MS Project and try to open MPP file by RiskyProject.

Can I export data from RiskyProject professional to Microsoft Project XML file instead of MPX file?

At a present moment you may export RiskyProject information only to MPX file. Future versions of RiskyProject will provide you with capability to export data to Microsoft Project XML file.

Intaver Institute has release RiskyProject 3.2 seamlessly integrated with Project 2003 and higher.

When RiskyProject is installed it checks if Project is installed on the computer and adds a RiskyProject toolbar and macro to Project. Using this toolbar you may transfer your project schedule to RiskyProject, add risks and uncertainties and perform the analysis. Your schedules in Project and RiskyProject are fully synchronized: if you change schedule in Project it will be reflected in RiskyProject. Risk and uncertainties defined in RiskyProject will be linked to your Project schedule.

Here is how the integration works:

1. The first time you open Project after installing RiskyProject for Project, check to see that the RiskyProject toolbar is visible. You can enable or disable the toolbar by clicking on Toolbars in the View menu.

2. Create a schedule in Project.

3. Click one of buttons on the RiskyProject toolbar in Microsoft Project to go to selected RiskyProject view. Essentially, RiskyProject offers additional risk related views to Project such as risk adjusted Gantt Charts, Risk Matrixes, a risk adjusted cash flow charts and others.

4. Add risks, uncertainties, and other risk-related information in the RiskyProject views.

5. Run the simulation, perform the analysis and report the results from RiskyProject.

6. At any moment you can go back to Project and make changes to your schedule. All changes will be reflected in RiskyProject. However if you make changes to the deterministic project schedule in RiskyProject, these changes may be overwritten by Project schedule.
