Hi,
Has anyone written any code to import an MS project file into Innovator.
It seems that Motorola may have implemented the function, as it appears in one of their slides in the Advanced Programs Presentation, but it looks like they're hanging onto that little bit of code for now.
I'm not very familiar with XML or AML but MS project has a "save as xml" option I wonder how hard it would be for innovator to read that xml and translate it into a format that Innovator can read. Just by the way, how would I go about finding the innovator "project file", so I can have a look at the structure.
Thanks in advance for any info,
M

Hello M,
It is possible to use MS Project XML to create AML for creating a Project in Innovator, but it is much easier to use VBA and the ActiveX version of the Innovator Object Model. A VBA macro in MS Project can enable a user to login to Innovator and create Projects or Templates. It is similarly straightforward to export Innovator to MS Project. This approach does need MS Project to be on the client.
The MS Project Object Model is well documented in Office Help and can easily be mapped to the Innovator Model which is documented in Innovator Help and the ItemType Definition Report.
I will be travelling for a couple of days, but plan to add Aras Community Project with sample code for MS Project import and export.
If you find this useful you might like to add some further examples of your own.
Jon
