Plan won't open

I have an MSP file that simply won't open ... no error message, MSP doesn't hang but the file remains closed.

A little background: we had problems with the file losing custom field lists so restored them from another similar plan. Then when I tried to close the plan it asked if I wanted to save updates so I said yes, it seemed to save the file but didn't close, so I tried to close it again and again it asked if I wanted to save updates, so I said yes again. After a few iterations I said No and it closed the file. And like I said above now it simply won't open.. .. a colleague can't open it either.

Any ideas apart from restoring from a backup?
 
If you cannot open it - likely unrecoverable. You might have luck with turning off calculation, inserting the problem file into a new project (without a link) but I think you are just postponing further disappointment.
 
Thanks for confirming what I expected ... In the end we restored the file from the last backup.
