Re: Sudden increase in file size

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Hi Gen,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

I suspect a corrupt file, you could try the suggestions in FAQ Item: 43.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)
