Alfonzo, In Protel 99SE, it is advised to add no punctuation to any of your files, folders or databases.
Altium does not mention this in the technical notes, but I have experienced the same issue you describe. ===================================== Richard J.

Depending on wether the project was a database or just stored as files, was the type of error received. If I was trying to open a database project, it came up with the new project dialog stating "The document you selected to open must be imported into a new design database...." When I tried to save this new database in the same location (or any location within this new folder) I received the error message "Error: Cannot create database at the specified location" I then tried to open an old "Windows File system" project and got the error "Root has been deleted" after which an "access violation" followed. After a bit of experimentation I found that I could create, open and save projects anywhere except this new folder, which I had named "Protel DB's" It turns out Portel didn't like the apostrophe, I removed it and all is well now.
