Project KickStart 5 can open and save projects in Project KickStart 4 *.prx file format. (Same as Project KickStart 5)

Project KickStart 5 can open and convert projects saved in Project KickStart 3 *.prj file format. You need to have a licensed copy of Project KickStart 3 on your system to make the conversion.

To open a *.prj project in Project KickStart 5:

1. Click the Open Project button on the toolbar, or click File on the menu bar, and then click Open Project.
2. In the Open Project File dialog box, click the Files of type list arrow, and then click *.prj file type.
3. Navigate to the folder that contains the prj file. Generally, prj files are stored in: c:\program files\Project KickStart 3
4. Double-click the name of the file.

Tips

• The tasks in the converted Project KickStart 5 file will have the same start and finish dates and same durations as they had in Project KickStart 3.
• Summary tasks, such as Phases, in Project KickStart 5 derive their start, finish and duration from the tasks within them, and so may be different from in Project KickStart 3.
• Because Project KickStart 3 has weekends as working days, they show up in Project KickStart 5 the same way (i.e., as working days.) To have weekends as non working days, click the Change Working Schedule button on the Gantt chart toolbar and mark weekends as non working.

Note

• Project KickStart 5 does not open and convert prj files from Project KickStart 1 or 2.
