MS Project Import Error Row 1 Column 5

[Jon]

Hi All,

Has anyone ever experienced the above error before - we have a number of templates set up that we have been using for a number of years now but all of a sudden just before Christmas whenever we open up any of our files we are getting an error that says "An import error has occurred check Row 1 Column 5...we've obviously checked this row and there's nothing wrong with it...we have also tried deleting all the information within the file...then literally saving it blank....then opening it back up still gives us the error...not sure if any updates have caused this issue???...Its a very strange one and is giving us real issues as it wont let us import any of our individual files into our overall master list...anyone else experienced this or got any advice it would be most appeciated.

This is looking like it might have been a windows update late last year that has caused the issue...if anyone knows of a patch or fix them please let me know...or even how this can be raised with Microsoft.

Do you get an error code? And is this in reference to PWA or Project Online or a standalone license?
