Conversion Issues 2007 to 2003

[Andrew Chira]

I am working with Microsoft Project 2007 and have been saving the file
as a 2003 file, but when I do this and re-open the file Task Names
will disappear and random predecessors will be assigned to certain
tasks. Also tasks will simply disappear. I've done a decent amount
of googling and did troubleshooting on the Microsoft site. Has anyone
else had this issue or know of any fixes?

and SP1 for 2007.

I have a similar issue with 2003. Will SP3 repair a file that contains this
issue, or merely prevent it from occurring in the future.

I'm not sure, but if you don't install SP3, I for one will not waste my time
trying to diagnose an out of date program .

Hello Minnirs,

I doubt installing SP-3 will repair any damage to a file -- but it
should be worth installing to help prevent future issues.

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