    Export from MS Project 2003 to Excel 2007

    I am using Windows 7 ultimate with MS Office 2007 and MS Project 2003 installed. I need to export a Project Plan into Excel 2007. To do so, when I select “Save As” option and choose Workbook or Pivot Table, it says “Operation Failed.” So far I have tried several time but still the same result. Am not able to find out the source of the problem. Is it because project is 2003 and Excel is 2007? Is there any compatibility problem or I’m making some mistake?

    Somebody please help.

    Nope, it cannot be version or compatibility problems because I have done it couple of weeks ago with exactly same edition of project and excel. Did you have installed Service Pack 3? If yes then go to Tools > Options > Security tab and make sure you have the bottom option selected to allow creating and loading legacy file formats. Do this and try exporting again. Hopefully you wont be getting that error again.

    Thank you very much for the reply SMichael but I’m still running with Service Pack 2 (no SP3). Is there any such troubleshooting or extra settings I need to configure to get the job done?

    Please help.

    No, there are no such extra settings for SP2, it is only in SP3. But as you are getting the “Operation failed” error I strongly suspect there might be some security problem which is breaking the link or your installation of Project and Office is broken. I will recommend you to put the setup CD again and repair both Office as well as Project.

    That’s it. Finally I managed to fix the problem. Repairing Office and Project didn’t worked. At last I uninstalled Project 2003 and installed MSP 2007 and everything got solved. I think it was the compatibility problem but anyways, your helps appreciated.
