SYMPTOMS
When you exit Microsoft Project while the Global.mpt template is opened as read-only, you receive the following error message:
Cannot save to 'Global.mpt'. This is a read-only file. You can
view and copy information but you cannot save changes to this
file under its current name. If you want to save changes to the
file, choose Save As and rename the file.
CAUSE
This error message occurs when the Global.mpt file that Microsoft Project
is using is read-only, and when you try to change the default settings,
the formatting options, or the macros.
Note This file is a template. It does not contain any data from the project that you are working on.
WORKAROUND
If you have changed default settings, formatting options, or macros, save
the file as Global.mpt to a folder where you have read-write permissions.
If you do not want to save any changes, click Cancel in the dialog box.
This does not cause loss of data.
