From: JB on 4 Jun 2010 13:21 99% of the time I open Project, I want to open an existing project, not start a new one. Because we're using project server, I don't even know where the files are, so I can't open them directly. I access them through File/Open/Retrieve from Project Server. So how can I prevent Project from starting a New file when starting (forcing me to close/discard changes everytime)?

JB -- Since you didn't specify a version, I will assume you are using Microsoft Project 2007. Do the following: 1. Click Tools - Options - General. 2. Select the "Open last file on startup" option. 3. Click the OK button. The above steps are you only other option, which is to automatically open the last file you saved and closed in your previous session with Microsoft Project. Otherwise, you live with the new blank file every time you launch the software. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
