>>Hi people,

>>I have a project which was working well. Now when I try to open it, or to BUILD it, I'm getting an "I/O opeation failure" message. It sporadically opens, but I haven't been able to rebuild it. Anybody have any familiarity with this and can tell me how to fix it? I don't know if this is a clue, but I accidentally saved it as an APP insted of as an EXE last night. HELP!!

Whenever I tried to open a project after the move, I'd get an I/O operation failure and the project wouldn't open. If you D: drive is a CD ROM the simplest is to place a CD in it.

I've noticed, however, that some screens that begin with "D" have had the name changed to one beginning with "C" even though the commands above shouldn't make replaces for those. In this case, I had to locate the correct file again. If you choose the CD route, you might try to re-build the project immediately so that the file references are corrected.

Fantastic! Who would've thunk putting a CD in the CD reader solves the problem.
Thanks bunches, George.
Here's your stars.
