Read 2010 mpp file then save as 2003 mpp file

I need to read file that uploaded by user which may exist in Ms Project 2010 version, after that, i need to convert the file back to Ms Project 2003 version, which my server only have Project 2003 installed and i need to use the ODBC way to save my project data into database.


Dim prj As New Project()
Dim rdr As New ProjectReader()
Dim prjWriter As New ProjectWriter()

prj = rdr.Read(“C:\test\2010.mpp”)


prjWriter.Write(prj, “C:\test\2003\2003.mpp”, TasksDataFormat.MPP)

Can you please let me know how should I adjust my code to be able to save it into 2003 mpp.


Thousand thanks in advance.
