Trying to open this file from another computer was unsuccessful.

I was analyzing the data and when I had almost finished the report on the resources used in MS Project 2016. The system crashed due to a power outage and I can not open the file with my work and send it to the boss. The program tells me about the error - Project can not recognize this file format. Do you want to open this file only as text? Trying to open this file from another computer was unsuccessful. I do not have any good idea how to cope with this trouble.

Most times a power failure can and will corrupt files, leaves one having to try to get a new copy if it came from someone else or starting from scratch. I use 2 protections, one is a UPS backup power supply and the other is to copy all downloads/foreign source files on a different drive. Most times folks have success if the auto save feature in a program is turned on, Word and Excel have it, don't know about Project.
