SUMMARY
When importing Microsoft Project for MS-DOS version 4.00 files into Project for Windows, the date format must be identical or Project for Windows will return errors when trying to import the dates from the converted Project for MS-DOS 4.00 files.

To ensure that the date formats match in the Project for MS-DOS 4.00 file and Project for Windows, load the file that is being imported into a text editor, such as Notepad, and look at the date sequence that is being used.

Once the date sequence has been verified, the same sequence should be verified in Project for Windows under the Option menu's Preferences command. There are two options that need to be verified, as follows:

Date Order

Date Format These two fields should be set to match the format that is in the Project for MS-DOS 4.00 file that is being imported.

After the file has been imported, these two values can be returned to their previous settings.
