Error Launching Project DM - at_prods.dbf

[Shihan Jedi]

I copied a successful project and tried to access it from DM. The project that was copied was on the network. The new project was put in the same root, but a different name on the network drive.

Example:

Root is G:\Client
Successful project is G:\Client\Project Good
Project wont access is G:\Client\Project bad
We are using Autoplant XM

attached are the errors in order of appearance.

Solution:
Per recomendations, I replaced the G:\Client\at_prods.dbf file with another from another successful project.

This worked without issue.

See attached doc for images of errors.

Did you open your at_prods.dbf file with Excel or was it done through an link table in Access?

I was figuring the file that would give you a problem was going to be the at_proj.dbf because you put the project back in the same root.

Check your database Doc_Reg table and see if the records put into the table have values for the REGAPP column.

If it is missing values check to see if the files are p&id or models and then update accordingly. If it has values then for some reason the system is looking at the wrong location for the at_prods.dbf

How did you make that copy ? If you do it using Project administrator, it shouldn't be a problem to open it.

If you rename a project folder, you need to go also in the AT_PROJ.DBf (you can edit it as a linked tabel in MSAccess) and adjust the folder name.
Also check the paths section in project.ini.

PartRidge, I did open the dbf file in Access. Im looking for the file that holds the doc_reg table. projdata.adp.... checking the REGAPP Column for values.
All have regapp values.


PeterJ, I made the copy in PA by dropping and dragging. Adjust the folder name?
I am checking the paths in the project.ini file now...
