Trying to open an .MPP file that was created in a later version of Project? Here's what's available.
Which Project version are you using? | Which file version are you trying to open? | Notes |
---|---|---|
Project 2010, Project 2013, or Project 2016 | Project 2010, Project 2013, or Project 2016 | Project 2010, Project 2013, and Project 2016 all use the same file format. For example, a project created in Project 2016 can be opened in Project 2010 without saving the project to a different format. |
Project 2007 | Project 2010, Project 2013, or Project 2016 | No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010, Project 2013, or Project 2016 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. |
Project 2003 | Project 2007 | There are two possibilities here.
|
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 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. |
