I have a 64MB MS Project 2003 file containing approximately 2200 tasks with multiple resource assignments. This file has grown in size over recent months and is now becoming unmanageable. The schedule represents a project that is about halfway through a five year timescale and thus contains a lot of history that could not easily be built again from scratch.
I’ve done the rounds with my IT support and their inquiries to Microsoft. I now know the guidelines on recommended limits, minimising baselines held etc. I’ve also tried the suggestions from MVPs re .mpd/.mdb/.xml/ saving as/opening and saving immediately etc etc but none have provided the solution.
More than one source has now suggested that the only solution lies in VBA for MS Project expertise to create a transfer utility to a clean template.
Does anyone knwo of the existance of such a product or has anyone commissioned the creation of one ?
Many thanks,
Geoff
