How to resolve "An error occured while trying to read data from" (rhsharedresource.apj)

RH 2017 (13.02.334)

So, I've received this error in the past but for different files, usually with .fpj files (and I have script from helpessentials.com that fixes that). However, today it's happening with rhsharedresource.apj. One of the things that we've been doing is applying a new style sheet (.css file) to all our projects and that we have stored up in a SharedResources folder on a mapped network drive, and I think something got messed up somewhere.

If I click OK and then access the Resource Manager, nothing is linked anymore:

Any ideas on how to resolve this error so that things are now linked properly? I've tested the code of the .apj inside an xml validator and it's fine.

Try renaming the cpd and reopening the project?

Otherwise, do you have an older version of the apj (from when it was working) that you can compare with the current one, in case things have gone bonkers and the references have been stuffed up/removed somehow?

Hi Amebr. Thanks for your reply. From the options screen we use the check box that clears out the CPD file every time we load, so I doubt that's it. We do use source control so if we're tracking that file I should be able to go back in time and check it against an older copy. I'll try that next.

The problem was a co-worker of mine had some entries in the .apj file that were pointing to a non-existent file. Deleting those code blocks from the .apj solved the problem.
