RE: 2007 / 2003 compaterbility

Hi Kevin

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum and 12 months support.

I remember reading on a Microsoft web page that the Project 2007 to 2003 converter is being released with Office 2003 SP3.

Project 2007 will open 2003 files and then be able to re-save as 2003 if service pack 3 is not loaded on the pcs. There have been some issues with password protected files and i believe mscoft are still working on this.

hope yhis helps

Best Team

Ms project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
