Project file (.mpp) opening in browser

Hi,
Is there any web part in SharePoint that can render .mpp file in a browser? Our company has this requirement where some users create a project plan in Microsoft Office Project and save it in one of the shared documents and if we can render it in a web part
in the browser readers can see it even though they don't have Microsoft project installed on their system.
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Rani,
If you are using AD groups to manage your intranet, you can reutilize those groups to manage security in project Server, via the Active Directory Synchronization.

As I mentioned abopve using a third party webpart or a sync-to-task list are the main alternatives. You could also look into acquiring a desktiop MPP viewer.
However, for a robuist schedule management and collabaration, I think it is clear that using project Server is the way to go.

project file wont open. damaged file or contains outdated elements message. i believe its an XML error but i dont know how to fix it. please help

As a happy user of the Matrox RT.X2 for many years, and later an equally happy user of a Matrox MXO2, I can say from experience that it is highly unlikely that this problem has anything to do with the Matrox hardware!
Can you open a new blank project, and save it?
If you cannot import your faulty project into a new project, can you import the sequence from your faulty project?
Have you tried clearing the Media Cache, clearing your preferences, etc. - all among the techniques used to resurrect a Premiere Pro project that has gone bad???

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Has anyone Connected a Crystal Report directly to a Microsoft Project file (MPP)?

Post Author: Brian Morris
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Iu2019m aware I can save Microsoft Project Files (MPP) to an Access Database, Excel document etc. and there are ways to connect to a Microsoft Project Server.
I wanted to know if anyone has managed to connect directly to one though. Currently we use MPPs to report project status and other deliverables, and itu2019s been an annoyance to have to save the project file then export the data over into a new excel document when ever we have changes (since not all users have project or need all the data in the file).
Preferably, a user should be able to save that project file and anyone that has the Crystal report should be able to run the report against the MPP file. In addition to this, it would be extremely helpful in getting a formalized and nicely formatted report when running reports against rational and MMP files, thus giving an alternative from SODA reports in Microsoft word, which doesnu2019t always work well.
Thanks!

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Ok, I answered my own question on the connection issue, but I'm having issues with the predefined fields that enter into the report. The Database Expert shows the correct table names, but when I select them and look at the fields, they are all showing fields that are part of the "Project" table. when I use "Add Command" and use SQL to do a "Select * From TableName" ,where TableName is the name of the respective table, I get the data I'm looking for. Has anyone else run into this error? Is the error on Crystal Reports side or the Data provider's OLE DB driver? Has anyone with a fully patched system encountered the same errors?
Current SetupCrystal Version: 11.0.0.1282CR Professional; Product Type:FullOLE DB Driver: Microsoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provider
I have pasted my findings below, hopefully other people won't have the same issues I did trying to find this information. if anyone else wants to test and see if they get the same issues I did it would be greatly appreciated.
Connecting a Crystal Report XI to a Microsoft Project File (MPP)
Prerequisites (as I know them)
- Have an installation of Crystal Reports on the machine (a given)
- Have Microsoft Project 2000/2003 installed OR the Microsoft Project OLE DB provider which is installed with Microsoft Project (NOTE: Microsoft 2007 supposedly no longer supports OLE DB and requires an OLAP cube be made or a SOAP connection be used, which I donu2019t deal with personally)
Creating the connection
Start Crystal Reports
Click u201CBlank Reportu201D on the start page
in the u201CDatabase Expertu201D window, under u201CAvailable Data Sourcesu201D, Select u201C+u201D next to u201CCreate New Connectionu201D
Select the u201C+u201D beside u201COLE DB(ADO)u201D
If a u201COLE DB (ADO)u201D window does not come up, double click u201CMake New Connectionu201D
In the u201Cprovider:u201D box Select the u201CMicrosoft Project 10.0 OLE DB Provideru201D
The name may be different depending on the version of project you install and the patch you have on the machine
Select u201CNext >u201D
Under u201CDatabase:u201D copy/paste in the path and project file name
I donu2019t believe the other fields u201CData Source:u201D, u201CUser ID:u201D, or u201CPasswordu201D need to be filled out, and in fact, I got an error when entering in data into them
Example: u201CC:\Projects\Project Name\Current Schedule.mppu201D
Select u201CNext >u201D
In the Advaned information window, verify the project Name is the path of the project.
I have not found the use of u201CEnterprise Modeu201D (default: 0), u201CAlways Loadu201D (default: 0), u201COLE DB Servicesu201D(default: -5), or u201CEnterprise RUID Listu201D (default: blank), removing them or changing them did cause errors though.
Click u201CFinishu201D
Adding in Tables and extracting data
You now have a connection to the project File you listed. There is an issue Iu2019ve found though that all the tables you see listed are filling their fields in from the u201CProjectu201D Table, rather then their respective tables (Example: u201CAssignmentsu201D is pointing at u201CProjectu201D rather then the obvious connection u201CAssignmentsu201D). You can, however, use the u201CAdd Commandu201D and select the table you want with just a little SQL code:
Select *
From Assignments
After creating the command, highlight it and hit u201CF2u201D. You should be able to edit the name and change it from u201CCommandu201D to something more meaningful. At the current time Iu2019m unsure if the issue with the default tables all pointing toward the project table is an error on the provider side or Crystal Reports end, and if one of the new patches will fix it. I will update this document accordingly when I have more information and do more testing. I will note however, there is no way to change which table these preset fields point to.
Thank you for your time.

Problems getting files to open in browser from SP 2010 search results page

We are in day 4 of having upgraded from MOSS 2007 to SharePoitn 2010 via database attach.
When a user looks in their document library, and clicks on a PDF, they are asked if they want to check out and open or just open, and when they make the selection, acrobat reader opens the doc.
When a user performs a search on the same library, and clicks on a PDF in the results page, the user is prompted if they wish to download the file, and then, after they save it, the file is downloaded and nothing else happens.
The users do not want their disks filled with unnecessary copies of files.
Note that I did add an "application/pdf" mime type to the allowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes property .
This is only occuring when using the download results page.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you.

Hi lwvirden，
Generally, if the PDF is added to the Web Application's AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes property , the PDF files will open in browser when clicking them regardless of on the search result page or the document library.
I recommend to delete the PDF from the Web Application's AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes property and then re-add it to see if the issue still occurs.
Here is a table summarizes the various PDF rendering behaviors in search and library in the link below(same for SharePoint 2010):

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser

working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"

Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night

Premiere Elements Project file wount open in Premiere Pro CS6

My friend Just bought Premiere elements 13 and created a Project. I cant open the Project in Premiere Pro CS6. Getting this error message:
"The Project appears to be damaged, it cannot be opened."
The Project workes fine in Premiere Elements 13
What can I do? What is wrong?

If you have done this:
Import a Premiere Elements project (Windows only)
   Select File > Open Project.
   Browse to an Adobe Premiere Elements project file, with file extension PREL.
   Click Open.
Premiere Pro converts the Premiere Elements project file to a Premiere Pro project file.
and it wont work Elements 13 is probably too new for CS6.

FCE project won't open timeline, browser, etc

Hi guys,
Suddenly when I try to open a FCE project, it only plays the finished project. The browser, timeline, canvass, etc are blank like a new project. Theres no way I can do additional editing.
The only project that opens normally is one which was never completed, never exported as a Quicktime movie. Help!
Leesa

Probably, by mistake, you are opening the exported .mov (even if the extension is not visible) in place of the FCE project. When you double click a .mov created by exporting a sequence from FCE, the .mov opens in FCE by default, but it does not have any timeline nor canvas.
If you want to continue editing you must retrieve the FCE Project file (.fcp extension if FCE 3.5) ed open that one.

Project file not opening in my system

I have installed a new LabVIEW 8.2 and all the drivers resourses also, i am not able to open th project file, sometimes the NIMax is not opening and keeps me installing again and again but not working properly.even after formating the system i am not able to install labview propely, there is no antivirus software installed in it. any one faced this problem earlier...

Hi Kodeeswaran,
There could many reasons why this is happening. I would suggest the following steps.
1) Check to see if LabVIEW is properly activated or not.
2) Check if you are an administrator of that particular machine.
3) Try out the steps provided in this KnowledgeBase
4) Has the same set of CDs worked on any other machine where you've tried installing the software. There is every possibility you have a bad installation disk.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Can Captivate 4 project files be opened in Captivate 5?

I was wondering if captivate 4 project files can be opened in captivate 5? I know captivate 2 project files cannot.
Thanks guys,
Kya.

Hello and welcome on the forum (see it is your first posting),
Normally there are no issues when opening CP4-files in CP5: they will be converted, including the advanced actions (if there are) and to AS3 if the CP4 was AS2 because CP5 only supports AS2. I only had some few issues with those convertions.
Beware: you will not be able to open the converted file in CP4 anymore. As always, be careful to keep the original files stored safely somewhere.

PDF Files Not Opening Within Browser(s)

All PDF files that I try to view within a browser (Firefox or Explorer) get sent (downloaded to) my download folder called, Downloads. In the past, I was able to view these files from within the browser...what I prefer to have happen. Can someone tell me how to have the PDF's open when I click on their link from within a browser? I am using the latest version of Acrobat Readeron a Windows 7 system running the Home Edition (64 bit).
Thanks for any help - this has been frustrating

Select a PDF you want to open, and right click on it.
- Select Open with...
- Select Chose default program
- Select your browser (or expand the Other Programs and select your browser)
- Make sure you check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" option
- Click OK
- Double Click on your PDF.
Tadaaaaaaaa!

HT203477 Project File not Opening. 524MB?!

Hi!
I'm running FCP X on a Retina Display MBPro with 16GB RAM. I work out from a Firewire 800 drive dock since I haven't been able to get a thunderbolt drive yet. In this drive I have several projects (5 of them where created by Plural Eyes for Syncing). One of those projects is the actual film I'm working on around 8min long. The system started giving me problems when I started editing sound effects and putting effects on clips. The film is almost to omplition when FCP crash. I restarted it again but that one project film doesn't open. Instead FCP X stays open on the splash screen and does the pin wheel. I did all the troubleshooting prosedures plus try to fix the project file thinking it was corrupted with a third party application but nothing good has happen yet. I try to open the project on a different system but when I open FCP X it opens on the previews project that was been worked in that system. When you hit to go to the Project Library it start doing the Pin Wheel all over again. I read on the internet of a similar case where the project file was 500MB big. Mine is 524MB. The person said that they wated it off living FCP open doing it's thing and after 8 hours it open. I'm actually doing the same thing right now and I still have almost 6 hours to go. My question is why did this happen and can it be prevented and how to fix the file? Also, is the Apple FCP team dealing with fixing this bugs?

Are these MPEG, or VOB's? If so, this Adobe KB Article might help.
If they are M2t files, then this ARTICLE might help.
If none of the above, please tell us the full details of your Assets and also you Project Presets.

How to read Microsoft Project File(.mpp) with pure Java?

Hi all:
I want to read Mircorsoft Project File in Solaris,but it too difficult to me.
Anyone that can help me with this it would be much appreciated!
Eagle

most of microsoft documents (doc,excel,mpp) files are formatted in propriety way. at the same time they follow some xml standards.
i think you can get those xml DTDs and try to build read mpp as xml.
have a trial in that way also.

PDF files wont open in browser after i uninstalled in control panel and re-installed.

this all stemed from trying to update flash player but right now it i need reader to work more urgently.
i got the flash player update request, clicked update but the update wouldnt complete so i STUPIDLY un installed it in the control panel. i didnt realise that i should have done this with an installer! it was a couple of week ago so im not sure if i only uninstalled flash player or if it was acrobat or reader aswell but i must of done something completely wrong. so when i came across the site where i need to open a form in a browser window that uses PDF it tells me that i dont have adobe reader installed. so i download and tried to install the lastest version of reader but got about 43% done and it told me the intallation timed out. this happened a couple of times. finally a couple of hours ago the installation managed to complete and i can open PDF files in it but it is still saying on the website that i dont have reader installed. this sites min req is version 5 or over.
please please help! im kinda lost!

Your suggestion did not work for me (WIN XP PRO with either I.E. 8 or Firefox 3.0.9).
I also disabled Acrobat add-in in Firefox without success (I even renamed nppdf32.dll in firefox\plugins)
In Internet Explorer I found 3 different plugins and disabled all of them without success, but now I have an indication error message; this is my translation from Italian: "Program Execution Protection stopped the program to protect the system from possible damage"
Also in internet explorer\plugins I renamed nppdf32.dll without any better result.
I tried also to rename the files acroiehelpershim.dll and acroiehelper.dll in programs\commonfiles\adobe\acrobat\activex but this was not possible because the files are in use (even after rebooting).
