The MPT .MPT file extension is associated with Microsoft Project, a popular project management software. Developed by Microsoft Inc., the software provides a wide range of planning, tracking, and reporting tools used for projects of all shapes and sizes. All projects and tasks created with Microsoft Project are saved in an MPT file, which contains all project information including tasks, deadlines, assigned resources, cost estimates, progress tracking, and so on.
Functionality of MPT Files
An MPT file stores the data in an XML format to make it more compatible with other platforms. These files can easily be exported to other formats such as .CSV, .MPD, .PDF, and .XLS. This allows users to share their projects in many different ways or across multiple platforms. Another great feature to note is that this format ensures users can always access their projects and data exactly as they left it.
Formats Similar to MPT Files
MPT files have a similar format to other file formats associated with Microsoft Project such as .MPX, .MPP, and .MPPX. The difference between these formats comes from the version of the software they are compatible with. For example, while MPT files are associated with versions 2003-2007, MPPX files are mainly used by the most recent versions of the software. Similarly, .MPP files work with specific versions while .MPX is used by a broader range of versions.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPT) 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 .MPT 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 .MPT 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 .MPT 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 .MPT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPT 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 .MPT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MPT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
