Re: conversion issues from 2007 to 2003

Jim,
Thanks for this. This certainly answer part of my query in relation to the
additional features in 2007 but it does not address any known 'bugs' when
saving 2007 files to earlier versions of Microsoft Project.

I need to find definitve problems in the conversion to build a case as to
why we should progress from 2003 to 2007. Unless there are specific known
problems in conversion, then I have no case to justify upgrading to 2007 as
the additional features will not be seen as key to the organisation.

I'm aware that SP3 contains a converter for 2007 files and am currently in
the process of trying to get my version updated.

I was hoping that there may have been a more definitive list of items /
features available in 2007 that would not be supported in 2003 SP3. Is there
such a document / listing?

Firstly if you update to 2003 SP3 you can open 2007 format files directly.
Dates shouldn't change, but you will lose things like 2007's cost resources.

Is anybody aware of any issues that may arise when saving a 2007 file to a
2003 file?

I've heard people say that dates have changed. I currently use 2003
professional and the supplier uses 2007. I'm asking them to save their
files
to a format that I can then open but they are telling me that there are
issues in conversion.

Is there a document that may detail the compatibility issues / errors that
may occur?
