Cannot open file UFD

Post by whelbli »

I have somehow hosed up one of my projects. I think it has something to do with permissions but I am not sure. Whenever I login to the project I get "Cannot Open file UFD". I am able to get into the project but it is protected and I cannot change any thing. I searched and found a post about issuing "LIST &UFD& DSParams" and I get "Unable to open &UFD& file". Anyone have any ideas?

Be more specific about what you did when you "hosed" the project. Since &UFD& is "the current directory" ordinarily, I would suggest that the VOC entry for &UFD& has become corrupted. Can you post the results of this query?

Code: Select all

LIST.ITEM VOC '&UFD&'

Ray, thanks for responding. The solution turned out to be very simple. It appears that while in the process of moving files I inadvertently copied a .Type30 file to the main project folder. Apparently this is a bad thing. I removed the file and all is well.
