Sometimes MS Project databases get corrupted, its quite tricky to refresh them. There are some work instructions around for this on various web sites and fourms, basically you:
– In a new file, set up Project Information and Properties
– Use organiser to copy across calendars, views etc
– Copy and paste resource data but select the cells rather than rows
– Assuming its resources that are the problem, copy/paste all the tasks
– Save as and test the resource pool crashing
Added benefit is that file size should drop. Could be something obscure like a huge file path or other odd data, hard to tell without seeing it.
