SYMPTOMS
Opening a Microsoft Project version 3.0 read-only recommended file in Microsoft Project version 4.0 will result in the following message:

should be opened read-only unless changes to it must be saved. Open as read-only?

This message is continuously displayed, even if you click Yes. If you click No, the file is opened with read-only permissions.



WORKAROUND
When you open a read-only recommended file in Microsoft Project version 4.0, do the following:


 * 1) When you are prompted to open the file as read-only, click No.

This will successfully open the file, though in a read-only state.
 * 1) On the File menu, click Save As.
 * 2) Type in a new name for the File. Click Save.

This will create an exact duplicate of the original file. The read-only recommendation will behave correctly with the new file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
