Once connected, a dialog box allows the user to select which project to open.
A check box determines if all sub-projects are opened.
By default, TimeLiner brings through Start, End, Planned Start, and
Planned End as Start, Finish, BL Start and BL Finish respectively.

NOTE Due to the nature of the Primavera Project Manager 4 - 6 products using
the SDK for data access, importing data with TimeLiner can take a longer period
of time than other formats.

Accessing the Primavera P6 Web Services capability greatly speeds up the time
taken to synchronize TimeLiner and Primavera schedules.
