Hullo.
There's a difference between the concept of
"can't open the project"
and
"can't open files in the project"
If you can't open the project any more - then try to use the project file
as a table, and see if you can at least do that. if you can not, then the
project file itself is corrupted.
If you can't open files in the project, then it could be one of:
1. file listed in project, but is not physically stored _NOW_ where it
was _PREVIOUSLY_. You'll have to do a search for the file names, suggest
using the search in Windows Explorer or a cmd shell [dir filename.ext /s]
2. file listed, file exists, you can see it, but you can't make changes
and save it. Check the file attributes. Also - was this project ever
under a source control provider, such as Visual Source Safe? If so, then
you have
to strip the VSS attributes out of each file, and remove any VSS control
files (SCA, PJM, etc etc] and change the file attributes to remove 'read
only' .
3. File listed, file exists, you can see the file, but never opens up for
editing at all. throws some error message or not. It's possible the file
was corrupted as a table. Remember that most 'things' in vfp come in
pairs - there will be 2 files for a report file, for example, 2 files for
a form, 2 files for a class library.
Do you get any error messages when you try to do stuff with the project
file? Please describe the action you are doing prior to the error, and
the verbiage on the error itself.
