Editor's review
This tool can help you open damaged/corrupted MS Project files in MPP format and recover the corrupted data.
MPP Viewer tool is an all-in-one software product that lets you open and view damaged Microsoft Project MPP files. It will help recover the damaged data too. As with most such recovery tools, this one uses rules, algorithms and heuristics to first scan the suspect file to find what is recoverable, what can be reconstructed completely and in few worst cases what cannot be recovered. It then displays you the details to decide if you want to save the recovered data. The recovered data is saved as completely new MPP file, ensuring the recovery process is non-destructive. The original file remains intact. The intuitive wizard-driven interface of the product facilitates file viewing. The complete recovery process becomes a sequence of simple steps. MPP Viewer durations, start and finish dates, predecessor IDs and the names of resources.
The utility is integrated with a file browser and supports all MPP versions from the 98 to 2010 versions of MS Project. It works with Microsoft Project 98, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, and 2010. The simple interface of the tool helps even the new users to get started quickly. The recovery process is completely automatic. Projects are crucial to an organization; hence these MPP files are too. Corruption in these files could mean a lot of work unless things can be done automatically. When several projects are live, this kind of insurance could really be useful. This is a very good product.
