Does anyone know of a fix for the fact that Project 2007 "SaveAsXML" produces XML that seriously messes up baselines (amongst other data) ?!?
E.g.: this is an XML snippet from a Project 2010 xml file:
<Baseline>
<Number>0</Number>
<Start>2012-08-15T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2012-08-24T17:00:00</Finish>
<Duration>PT64H0M0S</Duration>
<Work>PT253H0M0S</Work>
</Baseline>
<Baseline>
<Number>1</Number>
<Start>2012-04-17T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2012-04-23T17:00:00</Finish>
<Duration>PT40H0M0S</Duration>
<Work>PT253H0M0S</Work>
</Baseline>
This is the same plan but saved from Project 2007:
<Baseline>
<Number>0</Number>
<Start>2012-08-15T08:00:00</Start>
<Start>2012-04-17T08:00:00</Start>
<Finish>2012-08-24T17:00:00</Finish>
<Finish>2012-04-23T17:00:00</Finish>
<Duration>PT64H0M0S</Duration>
<Duration>PT40H0M0S</Duration>
<Work>PT253H0M0S</Work>
<Work>PT253H0M0S</Work>
</Baseline>
The end result is that baseline1 data disappears when opening up the xml file again in Project (or wherever it is destined to go)
Another thing is that local custom fields based on lookup tables ends up with empty fields after doing a roound-trip through XML - again only in 2007, not 2010.
