Error in importing files 2003-2007

[Nir Shiffer]

Hi.

I'm trying to import several local files in project 2003 format unto project
server 2007, with no success.

When I attempt to use the Import Project option under Enterprise Options I
get stuck on the last step - the "press here to save" link does nothing. When
I attempt to simple save the file onto the server with "Save As" I get an
error message saying "The arguement value is not valid". I even attempted to
save the original file in XML format in project professional 2003 and then
converting it back to MPP in project professional 2007, still with no success.

Any suggestions?

With thanks and kind regards,

Hi Nir. Not sure if this the issue but in MS Project ,Pro click Tools>options
Select the Save tab and ensure the "Save MS Office Project files as" has a
value of [Project (*.mpp)] selected from the drop dwn list. This ensure it is
saving in a 2007 format. I have come accross this issue when group policy is
forcing it back to 03 format.

Also, that last screen has 2 saves links from memory. They are both on the
left but the one in the upper left section is the one to click i believe.

Good luck and let me know how you get on. Thanks.
