MS Project SchedulingError

[mukulbhind]

Hi,
I have Project Schedule have two or three sub-Project in this project,
this Project I have left as checked-out befor 15 days but yesterday
when again I try to open the project in read view mode..It gives one
message window to ask "contains linked information. Do you want to
re-establish the links?" I select there to not update links I get the
error below(See attached file). after this when I click 'Ok' on this
message window then I am not able to see my schedule task, It comes
blank sheet, there are not task showing. I am not sure why it is not
showing the Tasks.
I am choosing the option not update links so Is this the reason no
tasks show up in the schedule?
Is there a way to open the schedule without it analyzing circular
links?
Is there a way for MS project to inform a user a circular link is being
created before the project is saved?

I am not certain it will be recovered. I would really like to
understand how I can avoid having the project saved in a state that
makes it unrecoverable. Please let me know anyone have any idea

Thanks,
Rahul

Rahul,
The fact that you are getting a message asking to update links tells me
you have used paste links between files. Paste links are fragile and
corrupt easily. You would be much better off to link tasks between
projects using external predecessors/successors.

With regard to circular relationships. Aside from the fragility of paste
links, the single most prevalent reason for circular relationships is
when a user puts links on summary lines. This is compounded when working
with a master project with inserted subprojects. However, this may or
may not be relevant in your case since you didn't mention any error
messages warning about circular relationships.

Hi John,

Thanks for your response. As I have mention in previous mail that when
I am open this project in Read View mode(because Project is
Checked-out), I am not able to see my Project schedule there are no
Task showing in MSP Sheet, so Please tell me how can I retrieve my
project to see and then after further I can do breaks the links and
other activities, but first should be able to see my project, because
when open this project there comes first message window(See attached
file1) and then when I click on 'No' again another message window
comes(see attached file2) and when click ok then it come blank sheet.
Please help me to retrieved project so that I can see all the tasks.

Thanks,
Rahul

Rahul,
You must be working with Project Server. Sorry, I can't help you with
that. I suggest you post to our sister newsgroup,
microsoft.public.project.server. This newsgroup is dedicated to
questions/issues with the stand alone version of Project.
