Re: Unable to save project in Project 2007

I'm afraid I don't :( Your PM will have to resort to his backup - he does
have one doesn't he?

It is possible that the server experts might have something up their
sleeves, so you might like to try posting on the server newsgroup. Please

Hi Mike,
Thank you for responding so quickly. I opened the project and tried to
save
as a mpd file but I was unable to do that. Since I have Project Server
2007,
will I be able to do that? I also tried saving the file as a xml file and
then as an mpp but the project manager is still getting the same error. Do
you know of another way to fix this? This project already has actual hours
in
it.

Thanks,

Hi,
I have a project manager who is unable to make any changes to his
project
in
Project 2007. When he tries to save his project, he is getting "The
file
cannot be opened. Check that the file name and path are correct. Check
that
the file format is recognized by Project. Project files saved in a
version
earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened. If your file is from
an
earlier version, open it in that version, click save as (file menu),
and
save
in MPX format. Open the MPX file in the currecnt version of Project.
When
you
use this method, project data is imported, but formatting is lost."
Does
anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,

Barbara
