Re: [TCP] Missing RH8 Files
Yes, this has happened to me, and I recall one other person mentioning it on another list. His solution was to just add the whole directory back in, as did Gary, and that worked for me, too.

Back it up.

The XPJ file is readable by Access. It consists of a bunch of database tables but no relationships, as all of the logic is handled by the application, not by the database. Sometimes RH does some annoying little thing you have trouble fixing (or blocks you from something that seems like it ought to be simple), and if you know how to get into the XPJ file you can often address the problem directly. 1. Make a backup of the XPJ file. 2. Change the file extension to MDB. 3. Open the file in Access and look around. Make whatever change or changes you need to (being careful not to add, delete, or rename tables or columns). Then close the database and change the extension back to XPJ. This method is suitable for people with some concept of how databases work, probably not for others. __ ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2009 is your all-in-one authoring and publishing solution.

Re: [TCP] Missing RH8 Files
Hi Dick Actually the XPJ is an XML file, so I'd be surprised if you were able to open it in Access to make the changes you are suggesting. You are likely thinking of the former .MPJ file. That file was readable by Access and was an Access database using a custom file extension. That file is still present, but is now using the file extension of .CPD. For what it's worth, there seems to be a pandemic of this issue being reported in the Adobe support forums. We have been advised that the Adobe engineers may have discovered the root cause. I'm very hopeful they are able to resolve it soon. Cheers... Rick :) Dick Margulis wrote: Rick Ferrell wrote: Back it up.
