Problem saving Resource Pool changes

[Pat]

I created a resource pool for a couple of projects, but when ever I make
changes to it and try to save those changes I get the message:

"The file cannot be opened ... Checked that the filename and path are
correct... etc."

The odd thing though is that I can save it under a different file name, and
even if I close the file "without saving changes" , when I reopen it the
changes are there.

Is this a bug? Is there any way to correct this?

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat,

You don't mention what release of Project you are using, but for Project
2003, this was fixed with Service Pack 2. See the following for a
description of SP-2:

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

I'm using Project 2002 Pro. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.
Do you know if there was a fix for this version as well?

Hi Pat,

I don't see this specific issue listed as a fix, but if you are not running
SP-1 for Project 2002, I suggest you do install. The service pack fixes a
number of problems.

See the follow KB article for additional information:

I hope this helps.

I have SP-1 installed, so I guess this is one they never fixed in this
version. Fortunately, (as you saw in my other post) I have MSP 2003 also
(although not yet installed). I guess now's the time!

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Pat,

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. I think you'll find that 2003
with SP-2 handles the problem well.
