This will usually work, unless you have certain programs/screen/reports that are executed by variable. e.g. Our users can choose
to run serveral reports from a menu choice, when the make the menu choice the variable hold the name of the report that they wish
to run. So the project will never find it when you rebuild. Also if you have certain screen/form positioning information it will not reconstruct what you had previously (2.X project screen positioning)

Just my two cents, as I have had the same problem and learned to make nightly backups of all my projects in case the network goes down or my computer locks up (Are you listening Microsoft) because win 3.1 programs and win 95 OS sometimes dont get along, when I am working in a project.
