archiving a project

[Meera]

We are looking for a way to archive our completed projects. Although Project
archiving is mentioned in discussion boards, we cannot seem to find a way to
actually do it. Here is what we are hoping for:

-the project files will stay on the same server
-we do not want to password protect the file
-if you go to File>Open, the archived files do not display

Thanks,
Meera

Are you using Project Server 2002 or 2003?

Have you tried setting the files to be "hidden" (using the typical Windows
File Properties)
Another alternative is to change the file suffix to something like .oldmpp,
then it should not come up in the file list unless the user is looking at
"all filetypes"
Another alternative is to zip the files into an archive. This saves space
and avoids confusion but adds an extra step when you want to look at them.
