Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Primavera 18 opens last opened project upon startup!?  How do I turn this off?
 

I think I read that it can be turned off in user preferences but that is not correct.  With last file I imported, something went bad.  And now primavera tries to open it when starting Primavera, it tries to read this bad file, sais "bad something" and the program will not open.
If I could get into the program I could delete that project.  
Any suggestions?

do not exit Primavera by clicking the red X upper rigth 

ALWASY select file close all. 

Also as Santish said you may have to close or delete that last user session.

You're going to need the exact wording of the error message, perhaps take a screencapture when it appears on screen (Press ALT+prtscn to capture just the active window). Take a note of the error and search for it on http://support.oracle.com

It may end up needing to delete out the last user session record to enable you to log in without a project open.
