Convert MPX to MMP

Understanding MPX and MMP file formats

MPX (Microsoft Project Exchange) is a file format developed by Microsoft for exchanging project data between different project management applications. It is a text-based format that stores project information such as tasks, resources, and schedules, making it easy to transfer data between software that supports project management.

MMP is the native project file format used by Merlin Project, a popular project management application for macOS. The MMP format stores comprehensive project data, including tasks, dependencies, resources, and custom project settings, optimized for use within Merlin Project.

How to convert MPX to MMP

Converting an MPX file to an MMP file typically involves importing the MPX file into Merlin Project and then saving it in the MMP format. This process ensures that all project data is preserved and accessible in Merlin Project's native environment.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open Merlin Project on your Mac.
2. Go to File → Open and select your MPX file.
3. Merlin Project will import the project data from the MPX file.
4. Once the project is loaded, go to File → Save As.
5. Choose the MMP format and specify the destination folder.
6. Click Save to complete the conversion.
