Error opening project file

Hello,

I get this error message when trying to open Project file:
"The operation connot be completed because the source
file contains invalid project data or the total number of
rows would exceed the limit for 1,048,000 row in project"

Any suggestions

Thanks

Hi Mandy,

Assuming that your project does not exceed the limit, I would think you
possibly have a corrupted project schedule. Try importing the 'corrupt'
project into a brand new project and see if that works. If so, you can link
the inserted project into a master and the re-save it. You will need to
have your PWA Administrator set PWA to allow Master Projects during the time
you are performing these tests.

Here is a KB article that will help you thru all the steps:
