Import Predecessors

[bkoren]

I am using Project 2007 to import data from an excel spreadsheet. I am
importing numerous fields and the only field that does not import is the
Predecessors.

On the Import Map Preview it shows the predecessors as I expected. However,
when I import to append to a blank project, the predecessors do not show up.

Any ideas?

I just found another thread that answered my question. MS Project Server
2007 SP-1 has a bug that does not allow the importing of predecessors.
Supposedly that bug is fixed with an infrastructure server patch.

I applied the infrastructure patch
(infrastructureupdateformicrosoftofficeproject2007-kb951547-fullfile-x86.exe)
and still cannot import predecessors from Excel into Project. Any thoughts?

Hi bkoren,

I just stepped through importing an Excel file including
predecessors to Project 2007 without difficulty.

What version is your excel file? How do you have the predecessors
listed in the excel file?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
