an error occured while loading the project file.. -ACID Product Family

Subject:an error occured while loading the project file.. Posted by: FiQuE Date:5/20/2002 6:09:22 PM hello there everyone, I recently did one project and saved it.. (without a backup file unfortunately). But nothing was corrupted, except that i had changed the name actual folder where the .acd file resided (cuz i wanted a more appropriate name for the project). Next, when i tried to load up the file again (which was a month later or so), it gave me an error message that it cannot load the project file. And I tried changing the name of the folder of another project, and the same thing happened, so i changed it back to the original name. But the thing is.. i cant rememebr the original name of the folder that i had changed a month ago.. so I cant seem to open the project at all... Unless i rememebr the original folder name.. Is there any workaround?? Taufique

However this can be a bit awkward without suitable tools as the filepath is hidden amongst a huge amount of binary data. A hex editor/viewer can be useful for this, certainly much easier than trying to wade through it in notepad or something similar. But the best tool I have found for locating text strings in binary files is BinText, available from http://www.foundstone.com/knowledge/forensics.html. It has the nice feature of finding both ASCII/ANSI single-byte strings and Unicode double-byte strings. Hope that helps. Mark

Any hex editor should work though:) Taufique
