Microsoft Project 2000 can directly open the following formats:

- Projects from Microsoft Project 98 and Microsoft Project 2000(.mpp files)
- Project Database (.mpd files)
- Templates (.mpt files)
- Workspaces (.mpw files)
- MPX (.mpx files)
- Microsoft Access Database (.mdb files)
- Microsoft Excel Workbooks (.xls files)
- Text (tab-delimited) (.txt files)
- Comma-delimited text (.csv files)
- ODBC Sources

NOTE: It may be helpful to install the old version of Microsoft Project on a computer on your network to convert older files. Microsoft Project 4.0 or 4.1 can be installed on the same computer as Microsoft Project 98 or Microsoft Project 2000. Microsoft Project 98 should not be installed on the same computer as Microsoft Project 2000.
If you saved P2000 files as P98, there is a problem.
Here?s the information on that:
