Problem when saving a project

[Yves L]

Hi,

I am using MsProject 2002 pro. I have several macro in that project.
Yesterday, when I saved the project I got the message:
------------------------------------------------
Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier.
......
Les fichiers Microsoft Project d'une version antérieur à Microsoft Project
98 ne peuvent pas être ouverts
.......
-------------------------------------------------
The result is simple. I cannot access anymore the macros for that project.
I still can see the macros for the global.mpt . It is looking like it save
my project in a 98 version even if I saved with 2002. I didn't choose to
save in a earlier version.

It is a virus or ???
Could anybody help me please
Thanks a lot

Hi Yves,

I get the same message (I think - ma Francais ce ne pas tres bien!) in
English but only when working with a Resource Pool (RP) file. After any
edit in the RP, it only supports a single save. Any subsequent save
triggers the error message and all edited work since last valid save is
lost. Project files attached to the RP are not affected.

This was also true in MSP2003.

I found the only real solution was to move to Project Server 2003. Then
stability and reliability improved to near perfection (don't mention
SP2 ).
