Hi,

My point was that, in my code, the problem was not with the FOREACH (or even,AFAICS, with the project object itself) - only with the .FILES collection - the debugger was showing it as 'could not be evaluated' but with a .Count of zero. Given that I don't think a for loop would have worked either.

Regards,
Viv

>>>>>>In the INIT of a project hook I have:

FOR EACH loFile IN APPLICATION.ACTIVEPROJECT.FILES

which has been working for years. Now I get a 'Property FILES not found' error on this line. The debugger shows Application.Project appears to be the valid and correct project; .FILES is an object but .FILES.Count gives 'Expression could not be evaluated'. This isn't project specific - I get the identical error in another project. Also, at least AFAICS, there's no #INCLUDE that could mess this up and if I step out of the code the project opens normally with all files listed.
