Davinci Project "failed to open archive"

Hi
This is my first time on this forum. I am a fairly new user and I am really enjoying learning the program.
I am having trouble opening a project saved as a DRP by a different editor. It was originally worked on in DaVinci 16 and I have tried opening it in both DaVinci 17 and 16. It keeps coming up with a "Failure" message. It says "failed to open the archive".
The research I have done already has indicated that it is an issue with updating versions of DaVinci. I have tried that, and I am still getting the failure message. Is there a second step of trouble shooting that you can recommend?
Thanks greatly for any assistance you can offer.

Hmmm.

An archive is a .dra file. Projects are .drp files.

Archives use the Restore Archive option, and Projects use the Import Project option.
