Hello
I am using MS Project 2007 and I am getting an error message "an unexpected problem occurred while opening the file. The file may be damaged. Try using a backup copy."
I did get rid of any &,',",<, > That I had. Also placed this out on the other forum but no one responded.
Just wondering if anyone ran across this or know what I can do here....
I did a "Save as" selecting Microsoft excel workbook.*.xls and went through the export wizard to produce the file out of MS Project 2007. I had no selection for a 2007 version of excel. I built a MAP selecting TASKS.
When I produce the excel file I get "You are trying to save afile to an older file format. This file may be less secure than a file saved in the new file format. I than select YES to save the file. Like I said it was the only option to select.
I open up excel and create the XML file doing a save type of xml spreadsheet 2003(*.xml)
I than get a message that the excel file may contain features that are not compatible with XML spreadsheet 2003. I reply YES to keep the format which leaves out inncompatible features.
I than go to MS Project opening up a blank project and than go to FILE OPEN slect tyhe file type of XML...find my xml file OPEN get the wizard... open as a new project...click finish and get the message
1) Why when I am using MS Project 2007 do I only get a selection for the 2003 v ersion of excel
2) what is wrong here...how do I get this IMported XML file into MS Project
Thanks
