If an MPX file is being imported into Microsoft Project for Windows and Macintosh and there are two task records with the same ID number, only the first task appears in Project.

The message: “Task ID not Valid” appears when it encounters the duplicate task ID number and specifies what line the error was found on. If you choose OK, then only the first task appears in Project.

Project can only have one task record per ID number. If you have a program that can have two tasks per ID number, the MPX file that is created from the file should be changed so that only one ID number per task record is present if you want all information to appear in Project.

For more information regarding MPX file format, see the “Exchanging Information” section in the “Microsoft Project for Windows Reference” manual.
