Hi All
Started getting error notifications after saving files on only one project, Nothing different has been done when compared against other similar projects I've been working on.
The error notification states
"Were sorry. There seems to be a problem with this file that keeps us from opening it,
Please try using a backup copy if available"
I've tried to use the back ups from one drive and the different version histories but nothing seems to work I'm even getting this error notification going back 3days as every new day I will save with that days date as a new file for safety,
There's a lot of data that will be hard to recapture if I cant restore this file.
Has anyone had this issue before and found a solution
Any help would be greatly apricated
Kind Regards
Ruairi

Ruairi,
It sounds like you connection to the file on One Drive is experiencing glitches that is corrupting the file. If you can open any version of the file, save it to your local hard drive. Then I suggest you do some file cleanup by saving the file as XML and re-opening the XML file in Project. Note, you will lose any custom formatting with this process.
Hope this helps.
John
