File not found

[Gismo]

Hi all,

opening my DB i get a file not found error
tried compact and repair

LinkMasterFields property settings has produced this error "File not found"
what can I do to repair?

Do you know if the error is coming from executing some code? If so, did you try to debug it?

If the DB includes linked tables from another machine (i.e. a remote back-end file) and something about the network has changed, this could happen. If the name of the remote file or its path has changed, that would do it. If the links to the BE were based on a drive letter and something was installed on YOUR system that changed drive-letter mapping, that could also do what you describe.

i tried to debug
i inserted a module to make a sub report transparent
then i received the file error
it seems like it could have come from the module
i deleted the module, could have solved the problem but not sure if that was the cause

If you know what was in the module, it should be fairly easy to look at it to determine if there is an external file reference.

I use UNC path to all my files, nothing has changed on the server
all my links to forms seems to work fine

i deleted the module, for now, all seems ok

Congratulations! Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
