Project 2003 files backwards compatible?

[Adam]

I have several legacy machines running Project 2000 (and 1 running Project
98) and I'm in the process of upgrading all of our machines to Project 2003.
I know that 2003 will work fine with files created in 2000 and 98, but are
2003 files compatible with 2000 and 98? Forgive my ignorance, I know very
little about Project.

Thanks

Adam,
If you open later version project files on a PC with an earlier version,
(i.e. Project 2003 file under Project 2000), features that were added in
the later version will of course not be available. And, if you attempt
to open a Project 2003 file under Project 98, it may not open at all.
You can however, use Save As to save a Project 2003 file in Project 98
format.

Hope this helps.
