RH8 lost its mind; doesn't know how to open a topic file

[Guest]

RH8 (8.0.2.208) "suddenly" stopped allowing me to open topics by clicking them!!!!!!!

In the Project Manager or in the TOC, I can double-click a topic, or I can right-click a topic and pick edit, all to no avail.

The only way to get the topic open is to go into the Project Manager, right-click, and pick Edit With -> Design View.

Then I can work. My project files seem to be intact.

This could kill me, though.

WHERE inside of RH8 is there some kind of "file assciation", and/or how the heck could RH8 have forgotten how to open a topic file?

Hi Bruce:

Open RoboHelp, go to Tools->Options and click the Associations tab. Does the Path for HTML View and Design View say <Internal>. If yes, then is the Auto-selct Editor radio button checked? Try that.

Thanks,
K

Everything was set as your suggested, so I set it one way and then the original way, and now ALL IS WELL.

Thank you immensely.
