Project 2007 - Compare two versions of project feature - not worki

[Markel]

I'm currently running Project 2007 with SP1 on XP.

I want to compare two version of a mpp file using the Compare two versions
feature, (using Toolbar - "Compare Project Versions" button.)

After clicking on the Compare Version button, nothing happens. I understand
a dialogue box is suppose to come up, then I select the two versions I want
to view. I've tried different configuration, have no files open, having the
two files open that I want to compare, etc... but still nothing. Do I need to
turn something else on to get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hello Markel,

The Compare Project Versions is actually a COM Add-in file named
compprj.dll. Try the following:


Tools > Customize > Toolbars. In the customize dialog box, select the
Commands tab. In the Categories: list scroll to find All Commands.
Click on All Commands and in the Commands: list on the right find
ComAddInsDialog. Drag that command to a toolbar. Click the COM
Add-Ins... toolbar button and you should see the list of add-ins. My
installation shows the following when I select the Compare Project
Versions Utility:


C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\COMPPRJ.DLL

Confirm your path to the file. Then try removing and then re-adding
the file.


I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
