All of my files have broken links

I have several hundred topics in my project. I just opened the project and all of my topics are showing as broken links. There are no topics listed either in the topics pod or the HTML files (topics) section in the project manager.

How can I get them back without linking each file manually? I tried deleting the .cpd file but still the same.

Do the topic HTM file exist in the project directory if you look in Windows Explorer. If they do, and they look OK, you can import them from the File > Import > HTML / XHTML menu item. If they aren't there, could someone have deleted them manually outside of RoboHelp? Or maybe if you are using source control issue there is something amiss there.

Yes, all the htm files exist and look fine if I open them. Problem there is several hundred of them in many different folders. Also if I manually link a file, it appears but as soon as I exit Robohelp and then go back in, the link is broken again.

Your reference to "folders" has wondering where you are referring to. Are these folders in your Windows Explorer view or in RoboHelp? In fact, does the folder structure in your RH project match that in Windows Explorer? If they don't that is likely to be the issue. Could someone have moved the topic files into folders in Windows? If that is the case, RH will no longer know where the files are as no one has told it.
