    azrenmohamed,
    Are you operating your file over a network? If so, a glitch on the network when editing or saving a file can cause it to corrupt. I believe there are some third party apps that claim to be able to open a corrupt Project file but I have no firsthand knowledge or experience with any of them. Maybe somebody else has and will jump into this thread.

    Meanwhile, you could try opening a new blank project and then try inserting the errant file into it as a subproject.
