| File not found error on open and closing project file
I am using Project Pro 2003 with Project Server 2003. One project in PS gives a File Not Found error twice when we open it from PS. We can't determine what is causing this error. Where should we look? Thanks |

| More info! File not found error on open and closing project file
Also, once the file is opened, if I try to record a macro, a File not found error pops up. The specific steps I am taking are Tools, Macro, Macros. Then a Visual Basic Error message box pops up with File Not Found. I dismiss it (clicking OK) and then the list of macros comes up. |

Does this project reference another project that no longer exists? |

As best we can tell, no. We added the Subproject File and Hyperlink columns to a view and none of them reference any other files. There aren't any predecessors or successors in other files either. Any ideas where else we should look? |

| Re: More info! File not found error on open and closing project fi
I have more information on this. I've been researching all over the web and seen some similar things in the Google group. I've narrowed this down further and have more information. I open the project from Project Server which is where it resides. I have made a local file copy of the project too and the following is confirmed when I have either of them open. I open the VB editor and get four identical File not Found warning messages. I click View, Project Explorer to open the PE window. There isn't a top node for this project! There is only ProjectGlobal(Global.MPT) and VBAProject (Global+cached Enterprise). If I open other projects from Project Server they have a third node called VBAProject (project name here). Those projects don't have any project specific VBA in them. If I expand the node I only see the Microsoft Project Objects branch with the This Project (project name here) node below it. So, in the problem project, I decided to create a new macro. From the project, I clicked Tools, Macro, Record new Macro and immediately got a File not Found error message. I click OK and the Record Macro dialog opens. I put in the macro name of "test" (no quotes) and choose to Store macro in "This project". I click OK and get a File not found error. I click Ok and immediately get a message that "test" is an invalid macro name. It doesn't really matter what name I use. I've accepted the default "macro1" name and it still behaves this way! |

I am currently seeing this same problem with one of my project files. It doesn't seem to matter which computer I try opening up this project plan, as I get the same error message. I have tried saving it off the server as an ..mpp file and I still get the file not found problem. I have saved the file as a .mpd, ran the compact and repair utility (which I don't get an error when I try to open VBA editor in access) and then tried to re-open in project and still get the error. I guess no one has any ideas. We'd just export this project and import it from a text file if we didn't have actuals against it and it wasn't 1900 tasks long! |

I also have this problem with MS Project 2003 std. It seems that it was a very old known problem, that already exists in project 2002. Unfortunately, I don't find any solution except copying all the tasks in a new project. if you have another one, you're welcome. |

I posted this same question with a different group and I got these suggestions on cleaning up a file that is corrupted. "The only therapy that might work for file corruption is to save as XML and then follow the process outlined here: http://www.projectserverexperts.com/...aryRebuild.htm The step in the link is important because saving to XML bloats the project. If this doesn't work, I recommend rebuilding the file manually." I am curious if your project is also missing its "core" VBA Project like mine. Can you check? See my previous post in this thread. |

At one point, this project file did have another subproject with it. That project was removed before this was imported to Project Server though. On a second question, I think the problem I am having is related to the missing VBAProject for this project. Will the Binary Rebuild fix that? I hate to go through that if it won't touch this issue. |

Well, the first URL refers to project server and project professional. The second one is a good one. I save my project in a xml file then when I re-open it, it correct my problem. I've only lost some colors or stuffs like that. |
