Can Project 98 open a Project 2000 file?

I have MS Project 98 which I am new to using. I have been sent a file created in Project 2000 and I am unable to open it using 98. Is there a way around this, even if all the 2000 features were not available. All I want to do is view the basic details.

Like all other software programs, you can have the person that sent the Project 2000 file to you, do the following:
Save As a Project 98 file and resend it to you.

When you try to open a file created in MSP2000 in MSP98 the programme tells you to use a coverter and this is available at

http://WWW.Micr.......etc.

When you follw the hyper link the web site tells you a converter does not exist (Thanks agin MicroSoft)

WBD is right t say the firs user must save as.
