Project 2007 Equivalent to .mpd

With Project Pro 2003, the company I work work manipulate .mpd files programmatically and inject Project data from another system into them. By keeping the files in .mpd format on the server, it always allows us to add project data to the file if necessary on download when the user wants to open them up.

With Project 2007 you cannot save to .mpd, therefore it causes some issues with the functionality that we have built. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to to inject project data (tasks, resources, etc) into a .mpp or .mpt file from Project 2007. If this is possible then we could manipulate those formats instead of the .mpd's.

Otherwise I was thinking the only way of doing this without .mpd's would be to open up a blank .mpt in Project forcing it to open the program, then put our project data in manipulating the open project???

If anyone has any experience with anything like this, good or bad, let me know.....I would appreciate it.

Thanks
