Thank yo for the response. I did have the (work) laptop checked for viruses, had the hardware checked out and had 365 and Project reinstalled to no avail - no viruses. I also tried your method of saving it as an XML and back to Project but a warning pops up when I try to open the most recent version which says words to the effect of, "You sure you want to open this file as it caused serious errors the last time it was opened". I ended up selected a very dated version that works that saves me about 2 hours but leaves another 2 - 3 hours of work, I won't complain. Concerned there is a problem still lurking but nothing I can do at this point.
Again, thanks.

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. I'm a little surprised you got a warning when attempting to open the XML file in Project. I might expect to see that type of warning if you were opening a MPP file that had issues previously but not a text based XML file. At any rate it sounds like you have a workaround. Good luck.
