Security settings don't allow to create an old format file

[Robert]

Hello,

When I tried to generate an Excel file from MS Project 2003, (File / Save
as... / Microsoft Excel Workbook) I got he message:
"Your security settings don't allow you to generate such old format
file...."
Where can I change these Security Settings ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks Jan,

I forgot to specifiy that I'm using the Project Standard 2003 version. On
the Professional version, I can find this setting, but I don't find it in
the Standard 2003 version....

Robert,

In my Project 2003 Standard SP-3 it is indeed there. Look again at:
Menu: Tools/Options, Tab: Security, bottom under "Legacy Formats"

Hello Robert,

I don't believe it's an issue of version (Standard vs.
Professional), I believe it's an issue of Service Pack level.
Ensure your installation has the latest service pack -- service pack
3.

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

Hello Julie,

All the PCs have SP2, but on the only one PC which presents this phenomena,
some texts in the dialog box are truncated (maybe it depends on the screen
resolution). I'll check next week.
Thanks for the idea.

You're welcome Robert, let us know if installing SP3 resolves the
problem.
