MS Project 2007

Hi
I am using MS Project 2007 and wish to compare two versions of the same
plan. I have displayed the relevant toolbar, however nothing happens when I
click on the compare two versions button.
Can anyone advise if I need to configure anything to allow this function to
run or anything else I may need to do to enable this functionality.
Look forward to hearing from anyone who can help.

Hello TonyK,

The Compare Project Versions is actually a COM Add-in file named
compprj.dll. Try the following:


Tools > Customize > Toolbars. In the customize dialog box, select the
Commands tab. In the Categories: list scroll to find All Commands.
Click on All Commands and in the Commands: list on the right find
ComAddInsDialog. Drag that command to a toolbar. Click the COM
Add-Ins... toolbar button and you should see the list of add-ins. My
installation shows the following when I select the Compare Project
Versions Utility:


C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\COMPPRJ.DLL


Confirm your path to the file. Then try removing and then re-adding
the file.


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

Hi Julie

Many thanks for the guidance which I have followed to the letter (twice).
However I get Run time errors when I try and run the feature.
Firstly I get Runtime error 1004 followed by
Runtime error 440 followed by
An error occurred in the COM Add-In named: Compare Project Versions Error
440#:440.

Any ideas for the next step?

Kind regards

Hi Tony,

A shot in the dark but it may be a legacy format issue. On the
Security tab of the Tools > Options dialog box, check the option
"Allow loading of legacy file formats." Exit project and restart.
Any joy?

Hi Tony,

Thanks of the update. I assume you have SP-1 installed for Project
2007. Can you use the utility on any projects?

Hi Tony,

If the compare works on other plans, my guess is that project cannot
find the data it needs to compare the two "problem" plans together. I
believe the compare project utility works with a task unique ID. If
you have copied and pasted tasks from one plan to another, its
possible the unique ID no longer matches and Project cannot compare
the tasks.

You can try the steps under faq 43 at http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hi Julie

After a painstaking step by step approach it appears I had a corrupt "Entry"
table. I tried it on another table and it worked fine using the same
projects to compare. So I copied the "Entry" table from the standard Global
template into each of the two plans I was attempting to compare and it worked
a treat thereafter.

Many thanks for all your help.

Kind regards
