SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you try to open a project stored on a Novell network server, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem may occur when all of the following conditions are true:
- Your computer is running Microsoft Windows 98.
- Your computer uses the Novell Client for Windows 98 version 3.2.

- Version 3.1, dated February 8, 1999 (2/8/99).
- Version 3.1 SP1, dated June 15, 1999 (6/15/99).
- Version 3.1 SP2, dated October 3, 1999 (10/3/99).
Method 2
Store your Microsoft Project 2000 files on a local drive rather than on the network server.
