MSP2000 crash with Task Usage view

[Matt Steele]

One of my coworkers uses MSP2000 (SR1) on Windows XP Pro and is having a
problem with a series of projects. Specifically, when she opens the Task
Usage view, the MSP2000 program crashes.

Does anyone know what causes this?
Thanks for any help

Matt,
It could be a lot of things but my bet is a very corrupt file. Since you
only mention the Task Usage view I assume she can at least open the file
in a normal Gantt Chart view. Go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - File bloat, might be corruption
Try the suggestion given in the FAQ. If she still has problems, try
opening an earlier version of the file and see what happens.
