Export Network Diagram in MS Project

[Ussuri]

I have a network diagram that has been drawn in Microsoft Visio which I would like to export into Microsoft Project.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

I'm fairly certain that this can't be done. You could insert is as an OLE object, but it would just be a "picture", not actual data that you could manipulate with Project.

naygoo,

Thanks, I was afraid of that.

Not totally true, but totally non-trivial.

VISIO supports an automation interface as part of the OLE structure.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/r...,FX,HA,HP,QZ,RC,TC,XT&Query=automation&App=VO

shows a bunch of stuff for manipulating and creating objects in VISIO, so one could imagine having a Visual Basic program that runs through your Project file and generates the diagram you desire.

You can export a Gantt chart to MS Excel format, which is setup as per the MS Project fields (i.e. task name, duration, start date, finish date, etc), and then copy and paste that data info MS Project.

Unfotunately I think MS Visio network diagrams are just a picture.
