>Or, in this case, there's a path to a nonexistent location somewhere in the project. Most of the paths are relative to the path of the file in the first row, but there may be some absolute paths in it - so, check the first row, check for anything that contains a colon or \\. Fox will not report this as an error, it will search for the files along the current (internal) path, which is why it takes so long.

Thanks, but that is not what is happening. I don't have any paths set - nothing. I don't even have the PJX open yet. I'm actually doing a CTRL-O (open project) and the Explorer dialog that you pick the PJX from does not populate with files and folders.
