I exported a large (4,000 tasks) mpp to xml and when I attempt to open it with Project I get the error "An unexpected error occurred... The file may be damaged." I tried exporting it several times but get the same error each time. I don't see anything obvious in the xml, but it is huge and something could be lurking someplace that's not apparent. Does anybody have any ideas?

To restore the Project Server database, you can use the restore feature of Microsoft SQL Server. After you restore the database, you must delete and then re-create the MSProjectServerUser and MSProjectUser accounts to make sure that the correct passwords are configured. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Enterprise Manager.
2. Expand Microsoft SQL Servers, expand SQL Server Group, expand your Microsoft Project Server database server, and then expand Databases.
3. Right-click the Microsoft Project Server database, point to All Tasks, and then click Restore Database.
4. From the list of backups, click the backup to restore, and then click OK to start the restore.
5. Click OK to confirm that the restore completed successfully.
To delete and re-create the database users, follow these steps:
1. Expand your restored Project Server database.
2. Click Users, and then click the MSProjectServerUser user.
3. Press DELETE, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.
4. Click MSProjectUser, and then press DELETE.
5. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
6. Right-click Users, and then click New Database User.
7. Under Login name, click MSProjectServerUser, and then under Database role membership selectMSProjectServerRole.
8. Click OK.
9. Right-click Users, and then click New Database User.
