As the title states, I have a project, apporx 2000 tasks, that seems fine in project 2000 but when I open it in 2003 it appears to be about 2 months later. I have recopied over the calender from the organizers, tried everything but it still seems to be two months out. The file was sent over to the a local printer and when we got the printout back, it was about two months out as well. Does anyone have any ideas would could be causing this. My new goal is to get it upto Project 2003 since the consulting engineer and printer both have 2003, I can’t have different dates in the project.
Another little weird quirk. I save the file in 2003 as a 2003 version, and open it back it in 2000 and now that project is out by the two months or so.
Has anyone else experienced this and please don’t tell me just to switch to P3 or Suretrack or something, it’s a little late for that and I have to work with what I have.

Strange isn’t it that MSP2003 does not count the same way as MSP2k
Do you have resources allocated to your project?
What MSP2003 exactly are you using (help, About MSProject)?
It looks like a scheduling engine difference between both MSPs; the fact that the project back in MSP2k still is 2 month longer than before opening it in MSP2003 simply means that you opened and saved the file with MSP2003.
Do you have a backup file in the 2K format?
You should print the 1st task report ("not started tasks"? as I translate from the title in French) and the whodoeswhat report in both MSPs and compare task by task.
If you are not in a hurry, send me the file by mail, but I will not answer until next week
