2003 and 2007 Pro clients side-by-side

[Owe Evans]

Hi,
Have trouble after installing Project Pro 2007 side-by-side with previous
installation of Project Pro 2003. (Needs to be able to open plans both from
current 2003 project server environment and new 2007 project server
environment.)

When clicking a project plan link in PWA (2003 environment) the plan opens
in PRO 2007 which is not what I want.

Is there a way to ensure that 2003 plans are opened in PRO 2003 and 2007
plans opens in PRO 2007?

Is there anything else worth taking into account when running 2003 and 2007
side-by-side?

Thanks,
Owe

Safest thing to do is open the files from Project Pro.

Thanks Rod.

Yes that seems to be the easiest way. But this "policy" also has to be
enforced through-out the organization ...

Another way would be to change file extension .mpp to mapp to PRO2003 client
exe i suppose but I am not sure this is the way things are connected when
opening plans from PWA? (And this way ALL versions are opened in 2003 which
is not what I want actually.)
