This article was previously published under Q94276 SUMMARY
If you are using Microsoft Project, you cannot open a file saved in the MPX
file format if the file was saved with a space for the list separator. If
the list separator is a space, you will receive the following error message
when you attempt to open the file:
An invalid MPX record was encountered (line #1). Field not valid. The
file cannot be opened.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Project, when you open a file that was saved in the MPX file
format, Microsoft Project strips away the space at the beginning and end of
each field for each record. If the list separator is a space, this list
separator space is also stripped away and Microsoft Project has no way to
determine the start and finish of each field.
