We currently have Project 98.  Yes, I know...ancient.  Will that work on a 
Microsoft 2007 system?  And if so, would people trying to open something 
created in 98 have trouble?  

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by a Microsoft 2007 system?
Which people? Which version of Project would they run?

I think you are headed for problems.  Microsoft Project 2007 can only open 
projects created in the 2000, 2002, and 2003 versions of the software.  I do 
not believe it can open projects created in Project 98.  Hope this helps.

Sorry, would Project 98 install on a Windows 7 system?  If our customers were 
using a newer version of  Project and they were trying to open a file we 
created in Project 98, would that cause issues?

See Dale's reply.

My hunch is that Project 98 will work on Windows 7 but I never tried it 
(nor am I likely to ever try). Instead of spending money upgrading 
Windows, spend the money and upgrade Project to a newer or newest version.

Most importantly, don't mix versions on the same project team .  Even 
better, keep the number of copies of Project down to the very few who 
maintain and publish the project model in Project.  Resist temptation to 
send out copies of this project model to others unless there is a real 
need.  Better to send out reports about the state of the project than 
send out the raw data.

Hi Kim,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

I have Windows 7 running and I can run Project 98 without problems.  =
Project 98 files will open in the later versions.  In Project 2010, you =
have to go to File/Options/Trust/Trust Center/Legacy Formats and select =
to run them.  You will then be able to open Project 98 files without =
problem.  Whether it is wise to do so is another matter .

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be =
seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
