We're on 5.5. Today one of our users tried opening an existing project and got the following messages (in the order shown). A couple of them showed several times in a row. Note that he was able to open the project without any issues when he tried again.

---------------------
Error in Object: ConnectToShadowDatabase
Error Description: Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
Error Number:-2147467259

Error in Object: GetNextAutoNumberID
Error Description: The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
Error Number:3709

Error in Object: CopyFactorsfromMasterToShadow
Error Description: Object variable or With block variable not set
Error Number:91

Error in Object: UpdateLocationOrderInDatabase
Error Description: The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
Error Number:3709

Is this cause for concern? We completely lost another project last night due to a .DTL file corruption, and I'm hoping this isn't an indication of a larger issue.

Another issue that's been occurring is where an individual part is added or removed from a project, the list won't update to reflect that fact until the project is saved, closed, then re-opened.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

On your first set of errors not sure what the problem if it happens again let us know here on the forums.

On this issue -
<<Another issue that's been occurring is where an individual part is added or removed from a project, the list won't update to reflect that fact until the project is saved, closed, then re-opened.>>

When you say List I am not sure which one you mean - Reports, PDM or Project Summary.
The Reports and Project Summary work from the saved data - if you click Save and run Report or refresh the Project Summary (Project Summary has a Refresh button) you will see the latest data. You need not close and reopen - just save the project.
PDM (Project DataMatrix) should always be uptodate the moment you add/update/delete products/packages.
