SYMPTOMS

When you open a Microsoft Project file from a SQL database, then select the Save To Database command, the following message appears:

  2. In the Title field, change the current entry to another name. You must change only one letter in the title. Click OK.
  3. Click Save To Database from the Tools, Multiple Projects menu.

    The following message appears:
    This project already exists in the database.

    Project Key: ######### Project Name: <entry from unaltered title field>

    Would you like to replace it?
  4. Click Yes to replace the file in the database.
