    Error when saving MS Project 2010 file

    Im the only person in my organisation with Project Professional 2010 and have to save my .mpp files in 2003 format so that others can open them. Ive set my version to do this automatically but sometimes when I try to save a file using 'save as' an error message appears to tell me that "Project doesnt recognise .mpp format and to save it in another format". Does anyone know if this is a known issue and what do I need to do to correct it?

    Re: Error when saving MS Project 2010 file

    I seem to be getting this problem more and more and I suspect its due to file corruption (some files grow from 250KB to 3 MB even if I make a few minor changes to it). However, I have noticed that if I open a "new" project file and enter some tasks, if I then insert the field "Text 1" its rows show the same as the "Status" field. Eg "Late", "On schedule", "Future task" or "Complete". Has anyone ever experienced this and is it a problem with my Project installation ?

    You can try by removing or disabling any project add-ins and see if that is helpful to you.

    I have read somewhere that project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 cant be opened. If your file is from an earlier version, open it in that version, click Save As, and save in MPX format. Open the MPX file in the current version of Project. When you use this method, project data is imported, but formatting is lost.
