VB Forum / General 2 / January 2006Lost Projects
I've written (VB 6.0) several programs at work and stored them on our Novell 5.1 server. At a later date, those folders were moved (intact) to another location on the server. Now, when I try to open ANY (and all) of those project files, I get a "File not found" error. Windows Explorer still shows the files as being there (including Project files, Project workspace, Form files, and Form Binary files). I had compressed a few of these projects (WinZip 9.0) and the "unzipped" versions function fine. Comparisons of the zipped version and the "original" show the same file sizes. Any ideas? D Boyer The paths in the vbp file may be referencing absolute paths, or may be referencing relative paths that are no longer valid. Examine the vbp file in notepad, and ensure the location of the files conforms to the expected paths. Alternatively, leave the notepad copy of the project open, then start a new project and add each of the identified project files to the new project from their current location (or after copying them to your HD). Remember to set the references in the new project to those used in the old one to ensure you don't get load errors when opening the form.

Attempts to insert them into a new project also resulted in the "File Not Found" error. Any other suggestions? Dale Boyer |
