Hi all, I am trying to recover a Microsoft project 2010 file that I spent around 4 hours work on, that was overwritten by an older version of the file. It happened on a school laptop therefore was saved on my USB. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks :)

This tool can repair corrupted Microsoft Project (MPP) files and recover their content, or recover these files altogether when they were lost, deleted or damaged because of various reasons.

    I would like to recommend Kernel for Project Server Recovery tool that allows its user to extract files and documents from corrupt or damaged MS Project Server. Using this tool you can effectively restore access to important documents within a matter of a few minutes. It is much capable of restoring all  entire project information such as task schedule, project resources, tasks, custom fields and etc from different project workspaces.  User can get more information about this tool, visit here: http://www.projectserverrepair.com
