Client Appl capable of Importing a XML file into MS Project 2003

[mksreenivas]

Hallo Everbody,

I have a question regarding the usage of Export / Import XML files into MS
Project 2003.

I plan to write a client application which could import a MS Project file
(Importable XML File) into MS Project without opening the MS Project 2003
application.

A manual way of reimporting an exported MS Project File is possible. i
wanted this to be done by the client application.

* This application should be able to import the project xml file into MS
Project 2003.

* Also Save the project file in its primitve format ".mpp" automatically.



Shall be thankful for any ideas or suggestions.

The client application will have to use MS project to import the file. It
can do so invisibly, but there is no realistic way to create a .mpp file
without using project.

If not even having Project available is the problem, then you need to save
all data to a data base. You can have your app update the database without
needing Project.

You could also have your application generate an XML instance conformant to
the Project 2003 XML Schema. Then, all you have to do is open the XML file
with Project. There is no need to save it to an MPP (but of course that's
still an option).
