>A team member passed me a Project 2000 file. It is 4000
lines, fully baselined, status with %C and actual dates,
many notes, several outline codes defined and column
filters turned on. The size was 7MB. I did a few sorts
using the filters, added some task status, added some
notes and saved the file in Project 2003. It had
expanded to over 9MB. I passes the file back to the team
member using Project 2000, he saved it and the file size
went back down to 7.1MB. In reviewing the file I can not
find any data that was deleted or lost.
