Error opening Project 2007 file after using project 2010

This is the second time I'm experiencing this problem.
Created a file (say Rev 1) in Project 2007 at work and took it home and updated it using Project 2010. When I finished updating using Project 2010, I saved the file in Project 2007 format. Came to work the next day, opened the file using
Project 2007 and did a "Save As" so that I have another revision of the file (Rev 2).
After updating Rev 2 in Project 2007 I closed it but when I came to work the next day I couldn't open Rev 2 file again either in Project 2007 or 2010. This has happened to me with 2 different files.
The error message I get is
An unexpected error occured during command execution.
Try the following:
Verify that all argumen names and values are correct and are of the correct type.
You may have run out of memory. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows that you aren't using.

It seems to me that it has to do something with invalid characters in the file name of the timeline. Or it could be anything from an '&' to two concurrent spaces, mulitple '.' or even a dash (-). Stick with single spaces, letter and
number combinations and you should be fine. The problems arise based on how the file has been opened. Here’s one thread like yours. It could be useful for your, read http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/microsoft/microsoft-aa/project/625-project-error-“an-import-error-occurred”

  • Cannot open QB 2007 file after installing R7 upgrade

    I installed the Quickbooks Pro 2007 "upgrade" and then tried to open my old Quickbooks Pro 2007 for Mac company file.
    1.) It asks me if I want to Upgrade the file (no choice)
    2.) Then it simultaneously says "Working" and gives me a warning about the file not being able to be renamed and that I have to rename it and save it in the QB folder.
    3.) Then - whatever name I give it - it says it could not create the upgraded file.
    4.) It also says that it could not open the existing file.
    I'm not sure what to do - the file is only 4.7MB and I've tried every combination to get it to open.
    Is there some trick? Nothing about this on the Intuit Forum. Nothing on Google either.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot open my business file!

    I guess what is happening is that I originally installed quickbooks and the company file on my macMini and I suspect that it is not opening it on my iMac because of a sharing violation.
    I did unlock both the application and the files but they still won't open.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.1 STD & MS Project 2007 crash after converting project files to PDF

    Need some help. Currently I create complex projects schedules (3-7 pages in length) and then convert to a .PDF thru Adobe Acrobat 8.1STD and although it takes a little bit, it does create the .PDF file. However when I open in Adobe Reader and try to scroll pages, it crashes and closes out Adobe completely without any error message after about 5-10 seconds. I run MS Office 2007 Small Business and all other conversions in Excel and Word are working just fine, it is only between these two software packages. Any Suggestions??

    AA STD 8.1.2 Correction, I do not have Reader (Only other Adobe products are Adobe Flash Player ActiveX and Adobe Shockwave Player) on my PC but when I open the PDF it does open in AA STD 8.1.2. Also, have tried this on other PC;s and same problem occurs and we e-mail these PDF's to our consultants and they are having the same problem whereby they are unable to scroll view thru the document/PDF and unable to print it out on their end.

  • Error opening a Microsoft Project 2007 file

    I am receiving an error when trying to open a Project 2007 file.  There is no error code.  The error says "The operation cannot be completed because the source file contains invalid project data or the total number of rows would exceed the limit
    of 1,048,000 rows in a project."

    Here's one suggestion
    If you can't even open the file you may be out of luck. With Project
    active but no projects open, try turning off automatic calculation
    (Tools/Options/Calculation tab). You may get lucky and then be able to
    open the file. If you can, first look for links on summary lines since
    they are the most prominent cause for circular relationships. Remove
    links and summary lines and then turn calculation back on. If that
    solves the problem, you might be OK. If that doesn't solve the problem,
    follow the steps in FAQ 43 - File Bloat? Might be corruption, which you
    can find on our MVP website at:
    http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm.
    If none of the above works, you might try sorting by Unique ID.
    Sometimes an inadvertent keystroke can create a rogue task that is way
    out in left field. If there is a blank task name for the highest Unique
    ID, then delete that task and see if that helps.
    =======
    And some more
    First I suggest installing SP-1 if you have not already.
    Then try method 4 from FAQ 43 at
    http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm. If
    you cannot open the file, methods 1,2, and 3 are not available. Method
    2 also only works with versions 2003 and earlier.
    Neither are a guarantee of course.
    You may need to resort to a backup copy of the file.
    I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

  • Error Opening Oracle Terminal File fmrweb.

    I installed 9IAS portal and the forms/reports server. The portal works fine, but when I try the 'Run Form Web ( runform.htm)' I get an error "Error opening Oracle*Terminal file fmrweb." The file does exist in my c:\oracle\806\forms60 directory and my FORMS60_PATH is set to c:\oracle\806\forms60 as well. Anybody having ( had ) similar problems? Note: 8.1.7, portal, and formsserver installed on the same Win 2000 machine. No Oracle apps. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Christian,
    It's probably working because you're now using fmrweb.res instead of the foobar fmrwebdk.res. Just look out for that missing quotation mark :)

  • Error opening editor for file

    When I'm opening files via a SFTP connection the file opens; however, I get a somewhat annoying "Error opening editor for file c:\users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\[connection]\[folder]\(SFTP)[file]"
    I can't figure out why!

  • Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

    I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • WORD 2010 Crashes Opening Word 2007 files

    WORD 2010 crashes when opening Word 2007 files. If you save the files in Office 2007 as an RTF file, then open in WORD 2010 and save as a DOCX it works fine. Why can't WORD open legacy documents (these are not big files ~13 pages).
    I have tried opening in safe mode, same effect - the doc opens and appears in the WORD window, and then the pop-up appears before you can do anything telling you that WORD 2010 has crashed.

    Try using Open and Repair on the problem docs.
    In the Open dialog, select the file, then click the arrow beside Open and choose Open and Repair
    If that doesnt help you may want to check  the How to troubleshoot damaged documents in Word 2007 and in Word 2010

  • Is there a way to open the last file I used in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop when I open the app

    I want to create a shortcut (Win7) that will automatically open the last file I used in the above apps when I open the app. Is there a command line switch like /r or /l that does that?

    Thanks, your point is well taken... It would be nice, though, to have the ability to sort a "Last Used" column in iTunes and select a bunch of apps to remove in one shot.

  • Opening Powerpoint 2007 file

    I purchased iWork '08 a couple of weeks ago in order to open PowerPoint 2007 files on my computer at home. However when I download the PowerPoint file from the internet, it downloads as a folder (inside the folder is more folders labeled: _rels, docProps, ppt, with more folders inside them) instead of just a PowerPoint file. Keynote '08 wont open the folder.
    Any ideas on different ways to download or save the file so that it will open?

    Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
    If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.   
    Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
    That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.
