jj,
Guess what, I've used Project for several years and I'm not an expert
either, so don't feel left out.
Let's take a look at some other possibilities. Do you have any links on
the summary task itself? Are all tasks under the summary line accounted
for (i.e. are all subtask IDs contiguous)? Are there any externally
linked subtasks under the summary?
Or, if you want, you can e-mail me the file and I can take a look at it.
If it has sensitive information, you can download a simple macro by
fellow MVP, Jack Dahlgren, that will remove sensitive information.
Jack's website is at:

Look for the macro called "scrub"
