Can't open the file as it says the file is corrupted or created by an older version
I am not able to open the file that i worked on a few days ago as i got a message saying that "This project is invalid or corrupt and canot be opened. it may have been created in an earlier version ...
Has any progress been made on this issue? I am constantly coming up against this problem and getting that message that the file cannot be opened. This has caused quite a few scares. It seems that making a copy of the file allows me to open the copy, but this is not a good workaround as it further uses up space on my desktop. I am having to do this on a near daily basis and quite frankly, it is annoying as hell. All of my working files are on my C: Drive, so this is not an issue of having the files in a shared external drive.
What is causing this problem? Based on the number of entries in this thread, it doesn't strike me as a one-off issue per user. Something is corrupting the files.
