How to open file with .MPX extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .MPX file? Do you want to convert a .MPX file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .MPX

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Project Export Format Microsoft Data Files
.MPX

The MPX (Microsoft Project Exchange) file extension is a reference to the format of a proprietary, binary-based data interchange file used by Microsoft Project. It was designed to be used for exchanging project information between the various versions of the product while maintaining full compatibility. MPX offers users the ability to quickly and easily export project data, and then import it into another instance of Microsoft Project without any type of loss of information or compatibility. When the MPX is imported, all connected project information such as tasks, resources, and calendar data is merged into a single coherent project in the target MS Project environment.

Uses/Benefits of MPX

The MPX file extension can be very useful for transferring project information from a milestone-based view of the deliverables (in a Gantt Chart) to a resource-based view. This makes it easier for project managers to closely monitor the resource utilization across different iterations and tasks associated with a single project. The MPX file also has applications in consolidating multiple projects into one master project at times.

In addition, MPX files can help increase productivity by making it quicker and easier to recall old projects or to replicate them for use on other projects with similar scope. Other related file extensions like PXF ( .PXF) and XER ( .XER) are also often employed by Microsoft Project for importing and exporting project information.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPX) 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 .MPX 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 .MPX 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 .MPX 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 .MPX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPX 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 .MPX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPX file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .MPX file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .MPX file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
