How can I access a project 97 document when I have 2003?

[deb]

I have an old 97 project workplan I would like to access but I cannot open it
with 2003.

Hi Deb,

Project 2003 cannot open project plans created with any version of Project
prior to Project 98. If you still have the earlier version of MS Project
available see:

If not, perhaps someone from this newsgroup has an earlier version and could
convert it for you.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

deb,
I'm one of those guys Julie referred to. If you do not have access to
Project 98 and you don't mind sending the file via e-mail, you may send
it to me. If it is not corrupt, I will convert it to a file that can be
read by Project 2003 and send it back.

deb,
Just zip it and send it to my e-mail. However I notice you have a
hotmail account. Be aware that if the file is too large, hotmail may
reject it. If you have another e-mail account, use that when you send it
- the process may be more successful.
