I had to restart my computer due to the fact the Visio froze up on me. Now each time I open the particular project I receive the following message:
"This project is already open in another application. You must close that file before opening another file in the same project."
BTW - what happens now is that I can only open the drawing side of things - anything related to d-tools is not opening. That error (refering to the DTL file) is stopping everything. I viewed the DTL file to see if it was locked/read only - but it is not.
Oh - and now I tried to refresh the d-tools project - received an error. Reopened D-Tools and now the project in question is not being recognized by D-Tools (though all the files are still within the designated directory)...
OK - in case this happens to anyone else - here is what I did and it appears as though all is working ok now.
To solve the "disappearing project" issue - I imported the project. This "reintroduced" the project to D-Tools projects window.
I then removed the DTL file from the project folder then reopened the project - this then created a new DTL file and appears to have all the info within it that was in the previous "version".
If tech support is reading this - do you see any issues with anything I've done? If so please let me know (I backed up the previous files in case I need to redo something here).
I'm not with Tech support but the following will address the issue.
When a crash occurs while a project is open a temporary ProjectName*.mdb file is left in the project folder
For XP Users...
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\My Documents\D-Tools SI5 Projects\Client Name\Project Name
Delete this file and then you will be able to open the project.
File open in another app error?
