Issue/Introduction
Cannot open a project from Clarity. A project dialog box opens in Microsoft Project (MSP) with a list of projects to select from, instead of opening the project in MSP.
- If you click on the project from the list of projects, the project still does not open
- If you create the baseline in MSP instead, the baseline doesn't save back to Clarity even though you get a save successful message.
Users may also see one or both of the following errors:
- "We're sorry. There seems to be a problem with this file that keeps us from opening it. Please try using a backup copy if available."
- “These tasks can’t be linked because they’re already linked through another task chain.”
