Project 2007 - Does changing the name of the project work?

[Ang]

I have tried to Change the file name on a Project File I
created but the system did not seem to update the file name once I had
saved the ammendment. Please can you tell me if this is a known
fault.Many thanks

To avoid lots of guesses, could you please describe your actions step by step.

For example:
1. Open project file.
2. Rename file in Windows Explorer
3. Save & close file in MS Project
4. ...

Hello Ang,

Are you referring to the text in the Project Summary task (line
0)? By default, the name showing in the project summary tasks is
the file name.

In a quick test with Project 2007 SP-2, renaming the file through
File > Save As did change the data in the Project Summary task
line *as long as I had not manually edited the data*. If I
edited the data away from the file name (default) and then
renamed the file, the data did not change. You can always change
the data manually or through File > Properties, Summary tab --
Title field.

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

I has just done some further investigation and Microsoft have confirmed that
the activation code I have is invalid. I apprently need to contact MS
support again. Are you aware of problems with the activation code which has
been sent in an email from MS being invalid?

Ang,

So, the product is not activated? This is something that no one
from this newsgroup can assist with. I would continue to pursue
this through your reseller.
