Pal,
Project 2007 uses a different file format than previous versions of
Project. The message is misleading since there is no converter. However,
the users who have Project 2007 can save the file in a format that is
compatible with earlier versions of Project. Then your user should be
able to open them.

Be advised that working with users of Project 2007 on a regular basis
will likely result in some loss of data. For the best compatibility, all
users should be using the same version of Project.

Hope this helps.
