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.

all the associated files are there as far as i can see, in the open screen - the software reconizes the project , but once i hit open, it comes up with a error that the project is not found

btw if i highlight the project and click overview - nothing happens.

any thoughts??

Mary,

 

That sounds like a corrupt dir file.  I suggest that you run the Primavera file fixer program PFXW (C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS\PFXW.exe) and select all options.  If that does not solve your problem, try using P3 to copy the schedule and open the copy.  Good luck!
