How do I use Project03 with Pre-Project98 programs

[PeterNowson]

I don't have access to the version used in 1997 but need to access the
programs. How do I do this?

Hi,

Try to find someone who still has Project 98 or try to find a copy on e-Bay.
Hope this helps,

Peter,
If you have the older version files and simply want them translated to
something that is compatible with current versions of Project, I can do
that for you. You may e-mail them to me at the address below.

John,

I have had some troubles with files created in 2000 and edited in 2003. The
issue I have is getting the very same error that Microsoft issued a fix
through Service pack 1 for Project 2002 and is covered in their article on
knowledge base 817271. I mention this in case the same issue arises for
Peter. At this stage I have had no joy with Microsoft unless I pay them to
find a fix.

Just a 'heads up' comment.

Regards

David C

Thanks all.

Have found a colleague still using Project 98 ( fairly robust as far as it
goes)

Have converted original files to 98 and uploaded & saved as 2003 version.

So far seems OK but have yet to start altering them so will have to see.

Thanks again.

Pete,
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.

John, I have 3 small project files (either 98 or pre-98) that I cannot open
with my current 2007 version of MS Project. Is it possible you might convert
them? I would be happy to compensate you for your time and trouble!
Sincerely,
Philip ([email protected])

Philip,
No problem. Zip them and send them to the encoded address I posted in my
referenced message. If they are not corrupt, I'll convert them and send
them back. There is no charge but I will ask some questions.
