opening and saving plans using different versions of MS Project

If plans that are created using MS Project 2000 and 2002 are opened and saved
in 2003 then reopened and updated in either 2000 or 2002 what type of
problems can occur if this process keeps being used.

To minimize troubles, make sure you have the latest service packs installed
for the products. I go to http://www.microsoft.com/Project and it redirects
me to a site that is country specific, etc.

There were previous issues with some calculations and task indentions, this
was fixed.

We ran into some problems because calendars associated with the different
versions were not carried along with the file or people changed the default
calendars in their own set ups. This can also happen with users all on the
same version.

So, be careful, but you should be OK. We did it for about a year at one site.
