Problem Opening File after Performing "Save As"

[Peter Merricks]

Project 2002 v. 10.0.2002.0502 (Op.Sys XP Pro)

Doing the following:

1 Create file "draf1"
2 Enter tasks.
3 Save file with passwords
4 Close file
5 Open file, and perform "save as" draft2
6 Enter new tasks.
7 Save file
8 Close file
9 Open file, and get error message saying number of rows
exceed 1,048,000, or corrupt data in file. Click OK, and
file empty.

Note file size looks OK, previous file approx. 334kb, new
file 336kb.

Any help...sorry, but put false e-mail adress to stop
spamming. Can be contact via Peter dot Merricks dot
itnetplc dot com.

Thanks.

 

[More info after tests]

The problem seems to relate to the adding of passwords.

If I copy the tasks, etc into a new project, and save,
but no passwords, and then open and "save as" with one
character change within the file name, then I can then
open the new file without a problem. It is only a
problem when the original file had passwords saved. If
you open the original file and remove the passwords prior
to doing "save as", then the problem is still the same.
ODD!
