Convert MPT to C2K

Understanding mpt and c2k file formats

MPT files are typically associated with Microsoft Project, where they serve as project template files. These templates help users create new project plans with predefined settings, tasks, and resources. On the other hand, C2K files are used by Concept 2000, a project management and scheduling software, to store project data in a proprietary format.

Why convert mpt to c2k?

Converting an MPT file to a C2K file allows users to transfer project templates from Microsoft Project to Concept 2000. This is useful for organizations or individuals transitioning between these project management tools or collaborating with partners using different software.

How to convert mpt to c2k

There is no direct converter that supports MPT to C2K conversion due to the proprietary nature of both formats. However, you can use an intermediate format such as Microsoft Project XML or CSV to facilitate the transfer:

1. Open your MPT file in Microsoft Project.
2. Export the project as an XML or CSV file via File → Save As and select XML or CSV as the file type.
3. Open Concept 2000 and use its import feature (File → Import) to bring in the XML or CSV file.
4. Save the imported project as a C2K file.

Best software for mpt to c2k conversion

The recommended software for this process is:

• Microsoft Project – for exporting MPT files to XML or CSV.
• Concept 2000 – for importing XML/CSV and saving as C2K.

There are no online converters that support direct MPT to C2K conversion due to the specialized nature of these formats.

Tips for a successful conversion

• Check data mapping between Microsoft Project and Concept 2000 to ensure all fields are transferred correctly.
• Review the imported project in Concept 2000 for any missing or misaligned data.
• Keep backup copies of your original files before conversion.
