I inherited a particular MSP file that, when opened, pops up a series of
"File Not Found" errors (a total of 4). I also get 1 (not 4) if I hit the
Modules tab in the Organizer or do a Tools\Macro\Macros. Other than being
annoying, it doesn't seem to affect anything. Any idea what file(s) it might
be looking for and how to stop these errors?
roadkill,
My guess is that either the file you inherited is a consolidated master,
has external links to other files, or has auto-run type macros
associated with it.
To check for a consolidated master, display the Subproject File field.
If there are any entries, the file is trying to link to the subprojects
which apparently are not on your system. A consolidated master is also
evidenced by a discontinuance of numbering in the ID field.
To check for external links to other files, either look at the
Predecessor field (external links will show the full path), or display
the External Task field (first make sure Tools/Options/View tab has the
show external Predecessor and Successor options checked).
Checking for auto-run macros may be a little more iffy. You could try
opening the VB editor (Tools/Macro/Macros) and then hitting the Project
Explorer toolbar button. Look for modules under either the ProjectGlobal
or ThisProject files. Sometimes a file will get corrupted and the
auto-run macro (which by nature is a private sub) won't show up.
The process to get the necessary files or eliminate the need for them
will be different depending on what is missing.
Hope this helps.
