Project 2010 Timesheets

Hello,
We are using Project Server 2010 SP1.  Single entry mode for Timesheets is enabled and the timesheets are auto approved as long as the status updates are accepted.  Here's the scenario.
Resource saves 36hrs for one week and then goes on PTO.  Administrator uses the delegate feature to submit their timesheet.  While the resource is away, the project
they reported time to is close and the Project manager has archived the project.  For us, archiving simply means setting publish = no on all tasks and then setting resources from committed to proposed in the schedule.
The resource comes back from PTO and realizes that 36hrs should actually be 40.  The time period is still open, so the resource Recalls the timesheet.  He/she cannot insert any tasks
so the PM then sets the resource back to committed in the schedule and changes the published column to "yes" for the resources assigned tasks and then publishes the schedule.  The resource is now able to reporting time to the tasks, however,
the 36hrs previously submitted and approved no longer appears in the timesheet. The hours are in the schedule.  To the resource, it appears that they only have 4 hrs submitted for the time period when in actuality they now have 40.  To limit confusion,
is there a way to make these hours appear in the timesheet?
Any help is greatly appreciated!  :)

If i am understanding properly then you are assuming that resource has already filled 36  so now he has to fill for 4 more hour to make it 40 if this is the case then Once you recall the Timesheet(in your case project is closed and again reopend)
all the submitted and approved timesheet data will go away you have to fill once again actual for 40 rather than 4 hours.

  • Creation of a Multi-Year Product Roadmap in Project 2010

    I am looking to see if I can efficiently create a product roadmap using Project 2010.  For a given business unit in our corporation I have product categories and under those categories I have products and/or projects I want to show on a timeline.  I
    was able to brute force this into a timeline but I would think there is an easier way to do this.
    For example, I would like to be able to put the description of the product/project inside the bar on the ghantt chart but I get an error when I try to do that.  I increased the bar height to allow for legible text but still no luck.  
    I want each entry for a given product category to automatically produce a bar of the right color with starting and ending symbols as needed based on the type of entry I add (product versus project).
    Is there any way to add an outline to the bars of different colors to designate the difference between a sustaining, anticipated, active, and discontinued product or project?
    Or would I be better served to go find an aftermarket piece of software that will do this type of work instead of trying to use MS Project for something it wasn't specifically designed?
    Thank you for any feedback.
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    Here is a
    tutorial that might help you coloring your bar style. This is based on the resource name but you could have a custom field with your product category which trigger a flag then the bar style will be formated
    based on the flag.
    Then about the description in the bar, I'm afraid this is not intended for this purpose. What about the note fields? 
    Hope this helps,

  • Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

    ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
    So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
    Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
    All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
    Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
    Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
    Original Question
    Already
    posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
    It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a  'net
    use' script.
    This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
    Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
    To replicate this:
    The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
    An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
    If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
    It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
    If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
       Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?   
    But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
    I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
    I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
    Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
    "Project cannot open the file.
    -Check that the file name and path are correct.
    -Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
    Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
    This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
    the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
    I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458/en-us|
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/excel/thread/2eeea140-7e6c-4cb9-a89b-06d2102bd9f7/
    I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

    Case 1
    This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
    if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
    This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
    Case 2
    This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
    the file or folder name.
    Case 3
    This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
    folders.
    For example, if you have the following:
    a shared folder on a network server
    -and-
    an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
    when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
    Case 4
    This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
    According each, please try the following workaround:
    WORKAROUND
    To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
    Case 1
    Method 1:
    Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
    Method 2:
    Save a copy of the
    file with a different
    file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
    Case 3
    Method 1:
    Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
    Method 2:
    Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
    Method 3:
    Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
    Case 4
    Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
    save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
    Case 5
    Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
    1.
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2.
    On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
    3.
    Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
    folder on your local drive and then click OK.
    4.
    Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to export data from MS Project 2010 to MS Excel 2010 with formatting

    I have created a Project 2010 export map to Excel 2010.  It works fine.  I have two questions that I cannot determine an answer.  I'm not sure if its a project or excel setting.  I have spend hours trying to make it
    work with little success.
    1.  When the task name field is exported to excel it losses summary/task indent.  Is there a way to set it up so it works via the export map?
    2.  The Start & Finish fields in project is setup as 5/26/11 when they exports to excel it shows up as 5/26/11 8:00 AM.  Is there a way to set it up either in project export map or excel so its formated as a date field. 
    Excel's Format Cell function does not seem to work converting them back to just 5/26/11.
    How can I keep the outlines and formatting in my data while exporting it to Excel.
    I would appreciate any guidance.

  • Can't open Project 2010 file in Project 2007

    I am trying to open a Project 2010 file in Project 2007, I get an error that asks if I would like to download the converter and I say yes and get a generic product page for Project 2010. I can't locate the file that I need, how do I find it?

    Addressed here:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/opening-project-mpp-files-from-different-versions-HA001045020.aspx
    You have reached this page because the Project MPP file that you are trying to open was created in a later version of Microsoft Project. Check below to determine if a converter for opening later files is available to you.
    Which Project version are you using?
    Which file version are you trying to open?
    Notes
    Project 2007
    Project 2010
    No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010 file that you want to open using Project 2007, ask the person who sent the file to first save it to the Project 2007 file format.
    Alternately, you can install the free
    trial version of Project 2010, and then view the file, or save it to the Project 2007 file.
    Note Once the trial version of Project 2010 has expired, it can continue to open and view project files, but it won’t be able to save them.
    Project 2003
    Project 2007
    There are two possibilities here.
    If you are using Project 2003 with SP3, project files from Project 2007 can be opened read-only.
    Download Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack 3.
    If you are using Project 2003 without SP3, there is no converter available. Upgrade to Project 2003 with SP3, or ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
    Project 2003
    Project 2010
    No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2010 file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
    Project 2000 or Project 2002
    Project 2007 or Project 2010
    No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
    Project 98
    Project 2000 and later versions
    No converter is available. Consider upgrading to the latest version of Project, or install the free
    trial version of Project 2010 to try out Project’s enhanced functionality.
    Alternately, ask the person who sent the Project 2000-2003 file to save the file first in the Project 98 file format.
    Note Project 2007 and later versions of Project do not have the ability to save to the Project 98 file format.”

  • MS Project 2010 with Outlook 2013 - "send as attachment" missing function / not working

    Office 2013 Professional running on Windows 7 (64bit).
    After Re-installing MS Project 2010 today the option under 
    File (alt-f) --> 'Save & Send' --> 'Send as Attachment' is shaded out / unavailable. 
    Is this a known integration gap between the older MS Project and Current Outlook ? Alternatively, does anyone have any recommendations to troubleshoot and / or enable the function within MS Project 2010? 
    Thanks for any suggestions , guidance or pointers.
    p.s I have tried completing a repair on Office 2013 and the MS Project 2010 from within the control panel.
    This functionality is working with all other Office 2013 applications in the suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Visio etc.)

    Julie ,
    Kinda / sorta ... In Mid 2014 I had MS Project installed and working (I can't confirm if the Send as Attachment was working at that time...) A few days ago I was sent an '.mpp' (MS Project file) for review. When I attempted to open it MS Project
    gave me a warning message that it needed to start in safe mode but then failed to start. This seemed weird and thus began two days of googling and investigation.
    I elected to uninstall (which also failed) and reinstall  (which also failed) the MS Project 2010 since I have the media at hand to do so. At this point I was really truly 'stuck' (p.c term for the younger audience reading this).
    My course of action was to engage Microsoft Support (specifically the MS Office group). They verified some registry entries, confirmed installation of MS Project 2010 , confirmed files were installed , available and in the appropriate
    spots (files etc.) , tried a few 'fixit' tools ,  made multiple suggestions that I spend $1000+ on upgrading to MS Project 2013. After ~90 minutes or so they were able to 'Force' the orphaned installation to uninstall. (although
    they needed to install and use a 3rd party tool to do it) We then re-installed MS Project 2010 and verified it could start.
    After using project a little bit I realized that 'Send as Attachment' option was non-functional. I spent a few hours trying to research (more google) and finally threw in the towel and cried out for help (i.e posted the message that started this
    thread).
    Thanks again for any suggestions or wisdom you are willing to share.

  • Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

    I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
    It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop. 
    I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode. 
    Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
    all other Office programs work seamlessly. 
    I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug. 
    I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem. 

    This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
    A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
    https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
    And 193K results on Bing:
    http://www.bing.com/search?q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&go=Submit&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=there+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+to+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren%27t+using%2C+and+then+try+again.&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=4cb023c1fbd94ec2bba9821b095f21f2
    Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
    stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
    Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them. 
    Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
    they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
    Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine. 

  • SCCM 2012 - Project 2010 Standard deployment failed with error 1603

    Hi everyone,
    I’m in the progress to roll out a software deployment via SCCM 2012, it’s to remove the current Project 2010 Professional we installed and reinstall the Standard version. We got a task sequence for the job, which is Reboot>Un-install Project 2010 Pro>Reboot>Install
    Project 2010 Std.
    The Un-installation process uses this command: setup.exe /uninstall PrjPro /config "PrjPro.WW\uninstall.xml"
    The Installation process uses this command: setup.exe /adminfile project_silent_install.MSP
    But the deployment result is quite random, some of the PCs would succeed without any issue, some of them with fail at the installation process with 1708/1603 error. As far as I know we use standard Win 7 64bits SOE across the environment, so everyone should
    have same system baseline.
    I reviewed some of the failed Project 2010 Standard installation logs as it shows the following:

    Can onyone enlighten me what's went wrong, and why did I get this inconsitent installation behaviour?
    Thank you very much!!!

    1603 means there is a fatal error during installation process.
    Take a look at the article below. It may help on finding cause.
    Hi Juke,
    I did do fair a bit of Googling before I started the post. I have increased the logging level on one of the machines failed on the installation. Apparently Project installation log doesn't throw the "return value 3", I think it's pointing to a particular
    updating item, anyone knows what is it?

  • Project 2010 SP1 Installation Crashes

    I'm trying to create a package that will handle both brand new installations for Project 2010 as well as upgrade installations for those running Project 2007, the latter of which represents a large population in our environment.
    I basically followed the same process I used when creating packages for Office 2007, Office 2010, Project 2007 and Visio 2007, all of which work today:
    run setup.exe /admin
    create a new .msp
    make my adjustments (very few)
    save into Updates directory
    customized PrjPro.WW\config.xml (after first creating a backup!)
    run setup.exe
    I'm testing the package on a machine that previously had Project 2007, but after running for a short time, setup crashes.  I thought maybe the problem was with the config.xml so I undid the changes one at a time, then moved up to restoring the orignal
    config.xml file but it continues to crash.
    There's a setup log in %temp% that contains what may be the core issue

    I'm beginning to wonder if there's an issue with the existing Project 2007 installation, or the way it was uninstalled [by the Project 2010 setup] - but maybe its something altogether different.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    My point above is that Project 2007 was extremely buggy and unless files are saved using Project 2007 SP3 first you are likely to experience problems with the files when opening in project 2010. Project 2007 to 2010 with no service packs is problematic.
    With SPs applied you should have far fewer problems.
    Doesn't look like a exe with SP2 is available yet so you need to add the service pack separately, probably in the updates folder.
    If all Project 2007 installs are already at SP3 then no need for this.

  • Invalid Duration error in MS Project 2010

    Hi,
    I have a user who has brought an issue to me.  He is a regular user of MS Project.  When he opens up his .mpp file he instantly gets an error of "Invalid Duration.  This is not a valid duration or it is outside the range for this field". 
    He has tried out every validation resolution option there is, he has looked at unpublished work items, he has also checked it through Excel.  He has re-entered the data, checking the format of every single piece of data.  Nothing was wrong and none
    of these checks have made any difference.   If he clicks on the Ok button on the error message, the file does then appear to operate normally with no issues, but he can't be 100% sure this is the case due to this message re-occurring every time he
    opens it again.  Is there anyone that has any ideas why this might be happening.  Please could someone throw some light on this ...?
    Thank you,  Lisa

    Check if using Macro on the plan. Similar issue has been fixed in June 2013 for project 2010, not sure which version you have seen the reported problem.
    Project 2010 hotfix package (Project-x-none.msp): June 11, 2013
    'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817385'
    You run a macro that sets the duration of a custom duration field for a task in a project in Project 2010. When you save and then reopen the project, you receive the following error message:
    Invalid Duration
    This is not a valid duration, or is outside the range for this field.
    Type a duration in the correct format: for example, 4 hours (or 4h), 12 days (or 12d), or 2ed for elapsed days.
    If its 2010, test with the above cu as its latest one.
    If this isn't case, please try using XML and check if that helps.
    If above doesn't help, provide information on project version and past history of plan, like was it created in past version and now opened in other version, etc.

  • MS Project 2010 Server - How to move a single MS Project plan and SharePoint Project site from a PWA server to another PWA server (one at a time)

    MS Project 2010 Server
    How to move a single MS Project plan and it's SharePoint project site from a PWA server to another PWA server (one at a time)
    I have 2 Project PWA servers, i know how to copy all the databases (Publishing, Draft, Reporting, archive, content) from one SQL server and copy it to the other PWA server so both server can be identical.
    I need to only move a single project from a PWA server to another, 
    Moving the Project plan, actual time data, SharePoint site with all it's content
    Is there a 3rd party tool that can be added on to the server to help me move single project plans? to different PWA servers?

  • Cannot programmatically select a task in Team planner - Office MS Project 2010

    Hi,
    I'm using Visual Studio 2010 32 bits, MS Project 32 bits on a windows 7 64 bits environment.
    I created a MS project 2010 addin in Visual Studio. I can do many things with this addin, add ribbon, create tasks,
    change colors in gant view...
    However I cannot selected a task in the team planner view !
    I use SelectTPTask in the application instance as referenced (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474284.aspx).
    After this selection I want to change the color of the task by using SegmentFillColor method but nothing happens.
    If I manually click on a task then SegmentFillColor works and the task color is changed.
    Here is the code of the action:
    private void buttonPriority_Click(object sender, RibbonControlEventArgs e)
    var app = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application;
    var pj = app.ActiveProject;
    //create Tasks
    Task newTask = pj.Tasks.Add("First task");
    newTask.Duration = "3";
    newTask.ResourceNames = "Resource A";
    newTask = pj.Tasks.Add("Second task");
    newTask.Duration = "4";
    newTask.ResourceNames = "Resource B";
    //Change color of the assignments
    foreach (Task t in app.ActiveProject.Tasks)
    if ((t != null) && !(bool)t.Summary)
    bool b1 = app.SelectTPTask(t.UniqueID);
    bool b2 = app.SelectTaskAssns();
    bool b3 = app.SegmentFillColor(0xFFFFFF);
    Is it a bug or I do not use it properly,
    Thanks,
    Alex.

    Working solution (MS Proj 2013) for similar task is:
    Sub ChangeTaskColorBasedOnCondition()
        Application.ViewApply Name:="Team Planner"
        For Each task In ActiveProject.Tasks
            Application.SelectTPTask (task.UniqueID)
            Application.SelectTaskAssns
            If (InStr(task.Name, "t"))
    Then
                SegmentFillColor Color:=192
            Else
                SegmentFillColor Color:=0
            End If
            Application.SelectTPTask
        Next
    End Sub

  • MS Project 2010 cut and paste 255 characters in notes column field into MS Excel

    I need to copy and paste notes fields in MS Project 2010 which have more than 255 characters into MS Excel and I want all the text to paste into MS Excel (ie >255 characters). I need to be able to do this for at least a text column and the notes column
    as I can do a lookup from there. So to recap I need to copy and paste the contents of 2 columns including the notes column into Excel and paste all the text >255 characters. I know how to do this cell by cell however this is not feasible for a large
    plan on a weekly basis. It sounds so simple if you know how!

    John, 
    I agree that note field will accept more than 255 characters. May be in my comment i have written "Both" that is confusing. Limit is only for text column.
    Some time note field  may give some issues refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169726

  • MS Project 2010 - An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site.

    Dear all,
    I encountered a generic error when using MS Project 2010 to sync with our SharePoint 2013 on-premise. I want to clarify is it default behaviour or a bug.
    When I start MS Project 2010 professional from new -> sync to Sharepoint by type in URL and the list name. I can create a new project list successfully.  I have verified the tasks are sync to the Sharepoint and I am able to see them listed on site.
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. This time an error show up:
    An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site. Ensure the SharePoint site is running and try again
    Since I didn't add anything to the mpp file, I believe it doesn't contain any invalid data blocking the sync. What would be the problem? Thanks.
    Mark

    No, I didn't. I just fill the site path like:
    http://sharepoint.com/sites/Project/
    and then the List field:
    ProjectA
    I want to clarify the sequence should be:
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. Then error occur.

  • 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”
