Can't access my project

[lovejoyp]

I am working in Robohelp 8.

I tried to open my project and got the above errors.

It has been about 6 months since I opened this project.

I also tried to move files into the various folders, and create new folders and that didn't help.

Any suggestions on what to try would be appreciated.

Thanks.

What this message is telling you is that RoboHelp thinks there should be a folder inside your directory that does not currently exist. As a result the files that it thinks should be there will be shown as broken as a result. This is normally caused by files and folders being moved, renamed or deleted from outside RoboHelp. If the files that are shown as broken are in fact required, you will have to find them and import them to mend the broken links.

I have tried to recreate the folders and files RH thinks are missing but it still doesn't find them. Also, I can't even open the project to move things in RH.

Any suggestions?

Recreate them how? In Project Manager or Windows Explorer? The former is the way to do it.

Sorry, missed saying to backup the project, delete the CPD and then try opening it. See Opening Projects on my site.
