Repair a corrupted file?

[steph]

Hi,

Am using a trial version of Project 7 that crashed while I was saving a
file. Now when I try to open the file it says it is either corrupted to
longer than 1M lines. Does anyone know if there is a way to repair the file?
The file size looks ok. I had saved a prior version under a different name
and the new filename is just a little bigger.

Thanks!

steph,
First of all, what exactly is "Project 7"? If you mean Project 2007 then
that is actually Project 12. I don't have Project 2007 but with previous
versions, if a file is so corrupt that it can't be opened or inserted as
a subproject into a new master, then you are probably "hosed" as they
say. Also remember that a trial version is just that, it is not intended
to be used for projects that you are actively executing - it is for
trial testing only.
