Sometimes I create project in MS Project 2016. Last project opened with error - The file cannot be opened. I tried to apply microsoft project repair tool, but it was useless. Please, any help.
 
What does this have to do with Operating Systems? You posted this in the wrong forum section.

If the file was made with that version of Project, it should open it. If not, then it sounds like it is corrupted.

I have Windows 8 x64, any help with corrupted file.
 
If your project files are getting corrupted then you have:
a) Program corruption (reinstall the program)
b) Memory (RAM) corruption (run MEMTEST overnight)
c) Hard drive corruption (test your drive for SMART errors and bad sectors)
d) User corruption (something you are doing wrong is causing the problem)
