Resource Pool & Corrupt File

[Robert]

On a machine running Proj Professional 2007 with SP1, no Project Server, I
have created a resource pool and added a number of resources from multiple
projects - created bothe in MSP 2003 and MSP 2007 without a problem.

When I attempt to Share resources for the "next" file, use resources from
[resource pool], Project crashes. ("Microsoft Office has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.")

Can anyone offer any suggestion about where/how to start tracking the
problem with this "next" file? It appears to be a normal, functional file
when I look at the data. I created this file in Windows Explorer by a
copy/paste of the original mpp file.

I have since created and added resources from a test file, and tried all 3
options on how to open the resource Pool, as well as restarting Project, and
rebooting the PC.

I have also run Microsoft Diagnostics from the Help menu.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

the "next" file is 352KB and in 2003 format

Hi,

For any sort of reason, Project "think" that the next file either is a pool
or is connected to a different pool.
Retry Share Resources, use own resources na save as a different name (the
copy/paste is a suspect as well)
If nothing goes, select all tasks (by the ID column) from the original
file, paste into a blank file, save as.

Thanks Jan,

Occam's razor! Your sugestion to "select all tasks (by the ID column) from
the original file, paste into a blank file, save as." worked.

Before you replied, I'd gone tru Methods 1-4 at
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm #43 without success. All seems back on
track now.

Thanks again,
Robert
