Trying to open project and giving me a box, ( This project" client name" .dtl is already open in another application. You must close that file before opening other file in the same project"

all projects are closed, whats what?

Thanks

Eddie

SenoS

This occurs when the project file did not close properly. When you open a project in SI 5, a temporary database is created in the folder where your project files are stored (default SI 5 project folder\clientname folder\project name folder). When a project closes properly, this database is deleted. If you navigate to the folder where this file is stored, you will see a file in there with the extension .mdb (assuming that you are showing file extensions). Delete this file. The project will then open.

Seth - how about an "ADVANCED" option to re-integrate that Access Database back into the main database? I've had, more than once now, a detailed bid CRASH and lose all the hard work I did because I didn't save it often enough... BUT - YET - the .MDB (Access Database) is still there... there must be an "Advanced" option to re-integrate that into the main database? PLEASE spell out how.
Thanks!

OH - and if you're answer is no, please save more often - than perhaps you guys need to:
1) Auto Save for us (if your product is really going to crash???)
2) Build an option to recover that data!

Thanks again!
