No Current Record Error When Opening Project

[bluejays47]

So, I have a large-ish project that I've been working with for a while in RoboHelp 9. Said project has historically been somewhat unstable (we had to strip it down and rebuild it entirely a couple years ago), and today said instability has reared its ugly head. Essentially, when I try to open the project, RoboHelp spins its wheels for a while, and eventually gives me a message reading "No current record." I got this error trying to open the XPJ file, then tried the HHP, which apparently blew the XPJ away, and gave me the same message.

I have a backup project I can use if need be, but I'd rather get my original version running again. Any ideas?

You haven't said whether you tried deleting the CPD?

Also you haven't said where the project is located, network or local.

See if this thread helps and post back.

The project is local.

I just now tried the "delete the CPD" trick, and tried to reopen from the HHP. RoboHelp rebuilt the CPD and XPJ files, then seemed to stall out trying to open the project. The project did eventually open (yay!) but was missing all its previous tables of contents (boo!), so I'll have to see if those can be quickly/easily reconstructed.

Sounds like it might have worked had you not deleted the XPJ earlier. See the Opening Projects on my site for information on what you can recover.
