Microsoft Project cannot recognize this file format...

At work, I still have Project 98. When I try to open
an .mpp file, the following message appears:

"Microsoft Project cannot recognize this file format.
Do you want to open this file as text only?"

I've been assured it has been saved "down" to Project 98,
and in the Windows Explorer, it shows it is saved as .mpp;
Microsoft Project 8.0 Project. A user who has the Office
XP version states he's receiving the same message.

Can anything be done to restore this file?

Sounds like it was corrupted somehow. Ask the person who first saved it to
save a fresh copy for you.
