When you use Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007 to save a project on a server that is running Microsoft Office Project Server 2007, the save process may take a while to finish successfully.

Additionally, when you close the Project file and then try to reopen it, the file cannot be opened.

This issue occurs when you save a large Project file that contains lots of custom data. In this case, the Project file is not available until it is saved successfully on the Project Server 2007 server.
