Hi MHL,
Thanks for the clarification.

Julie,
Just to be complete, it wasn't directly an admin rights issue.
Our IT
department set my user rights with a Registry Profile entry which
prohibited
the change in default setting in Project. Now that the Profile
entry is
removed, I am able to make the default setting stick.

Thanks again.

You're welcome MHL and thanks for the feedback. Thanks also for
the
update that admin rights are necessary to make the change
"stick".

JulieS,
Thanks for the info. It helped me determine that the "Save
Microsoft Office
Project files as" option only works when I have administrator
rights on my
computer. Based on the user rights I have been assigned by our
IT
department, when I log in as a user, the option is not saved.
So
it appears
that I will have to work through my IT department to resolve
this.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,
MHL

Hi MHL,

I cannot reproduce what you report. When I change the "Save
Microsoft Office Project files as" option on the Save tab in
Tools >
Options to Microsoft Project 2000-2003 Project maintains that
information. What steps did you make to change the option?

I am using Project 2007 with SP-1 and the Infrastructure
Update
which was released in July. See the following link for
information
on the IU and download information.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

RobV,
I have Project 2007, SP1 MSO, so I should be safe.
How can I get my first question answered? or find another
way
to
resolve my
issue?

Regards,
MHL

RobV,
Thanks for the warning. How do I find out whether or not
SP1
has been
installed?

MHL, I cannot help you on your main question, but I can
warn
you to be very
careful about what you're proposing to do. If you scan
this
site, you'll
find a number of posts by MSP users who have scrambled
files
while saving
from 2007 to 2003. It is important that you install
SP1
to
avoid the
problem. Failing that, you'll need to use "save as"
with
the
2000-2003
format each time you save--it's the only way I found to
get
around the
scrambling problem without SP1.

My Government customer only has Project 2003 and does

Project 2007.

I attempted to change the default "Save Microsoft
Office
Project files as:"
to "Microsoft Project 2000-2003 (*.mpp)", but it
returns
to
"Project (*.mpp)"
when I reopen the application. How can I make the
default
setting stay? (I
was able to successfully perform this mod in Word and
Excel
for the same
customer.)

Is there any other way for me to make sure my
customer's
Project 2003 files
are saved as Project 2003 while using them on Project
2007?
(Unlike Word and
Excel, where an *x is placed at the end of the
suffix,
there is no
differentiation in the file suffix between 2003 and
2007.)
