The MPP file extension, also known as a Microsoft Project file, is a proprietary format developed by Microsoft for the storage of project management related information. It is typically created and used by Microsoft Project, a powerful project management software application. All task and resource data entered into the program, including duration, start and finish dates, current status, costs and resources details are stored within the MPP file.
MPP File Format
The MPP file format is based on a relational database design and consists of a set of tables where the fields (columns) and records (rows) are interconnected. It also contains text fields containing the actual data, which can include resources and tasks. The file is also compressed to reduce its size. To view and edit an MPP file, users need access to either Microsoft Project or other software supporting the.mpp format. There are many other files used to store project-related data such as .MSI, .MPX, .MPT, and .XML.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MPP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MPP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MPP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MPP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MPP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MPP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
