We have been experiencing some saving problems in MS Project. When a user
modifies a plan and saves the changes it works, if they then decide they need
to make further modifications before closing the file and then attempt to
save again they are presented with the following error;
The file cannot be opened.
* Check that the file name and path are correct.
* Check that the file format is recognized by Microsoft Project
Microsoft Project files saved in a version earlier that Microsoft Project 98
can’t be opened.
If your file is from an earlier version, open it in that version, click Save
as (File menu), and save in MPX format. Open the MPX file in the current
version of Microsoft Project. When you use this method, project data is
imported, but formatting is lost.
None of the suggestions highlighted in the error message appear relevant.
The problem does not appear plan specific either as we have experienced it
with the majority of our plans and it is erratic in it’s behaviour – working
on some instances, and presenting the error on others in the same plan. When
the error appears we assume it has therefore not saved the modifications, but
once again this too is inconsistent, it saves on some instances and fails on
others.
Please can anyone help?
Kind Regards,
