    Hello,

    I tried to open a vs2003 project with vs2005 by mistake and now i can't open it with vs2003.

    There was a way to open it again changing some configurations but i can't remember how.

    Thanks in advance.

    I code therefore I am

    Hi, you should have the old project files (.vcproj and .sln) backed up in subfolders. Once you replace the newly converted project files with the old projects files, you should be able to open the project again in VS2003.
