Project Server 2003 Error Message

[Chris]

I am trying to accept updates to a project plan and keep getting the
following error message:

Error Updating to Project

Project cannot be fully opened because it is awaiting your input. Either
continue with the input process until Project is fully running or quit
Project and click Update again.

Before you attempt to process task updates from PWA, launch Project
Professional 2003 and connect to Project Server. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale but this did not help. When I try to save the project I get an
'unexpected error' and Project Pro 2003 crashes. My next move was to save a
copy to my desktop and delete out of Project Server and import back in. When
I open the saved copy on my desktop I get an error message that this file may
be corrupt and try using a backup copy.

Any ideas?

Well, if the project is corrupted, you will probably need your Project
Server administrator to retrieve a good working copy from one of the past
backups of the database. If you can actually get the project to open in
Project Professional, you can try to resolve the corruption by saving it as
an XML file, closing it, reopening it as an XML file, and saving it again as
an MPP file. Hope this helps.
