RoboHelp 10 .apj file error issues & crashing on save and generate

Hello All!

I am working with a large FM book (100+ FM files) that we have linked to a RoboHelp 10 project.

Everytime I update my RH project I am getting this error:

I have tried copying the folder, deleting the .apj file, and reopening. RHopens just fine.

The other major issue I am having is when I save and generate the project RoboHelp freezes up and won't save & generate the layout.

I have all of the FM files open and updated. Everything that can be updated in RH before save and genereate is updated. Any ideas??

Thanks!!

Hi Maggie,

Did you try updating each file separately to see if there's an offending FM file?

I've found that by updating each separately, sometimes you can get the entire book updated, and subsequent Update All commands will work again. (Go figure...)

If I may interject, what would make this message appear all of a sudden? I have a RH 10 project that has been linked to the same FM book for years, and every time I update it, the project works just fine. The WebHelp was generating just fine on Friday as I was testing my hyperlinks for new content, and then today, I went to open the project file, and I got this error message. I didn't do anything to the files over the weekend, so I can't fathom why this is happening. Also, I am unable to update the FM book or individual documents as suggested because they have turned into folders. And, of course, my entire TOC is shot because it can't find any of the topics. What is causing this error, and is there a way to fix it quickly and easily without having to create a new project from scratch? Thanks in advance.
