We have recently started encountering the error "The change to the "No Project" project will not be remembered for future sessions because the current user configuration file could not be updated" when switching from a Project to No Project during startup. I know this question has been asked before, but it seems as if none of our user permissions vary within the folder that houses our PCF and UCF files. Are there other folders to check for varying user permissions as this is only occurring on a small group of people and seems to be affecting access to standards such as Print Organizer preferences.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
Which version of MicroStation are you using? Since you mention PCFs, my guess is V8i.
Are these users using a valid user config file? Are they opening Microstation through the start menu, a desktop icon, or are they just double-clicking through Windows explorer?

Hi Mary,
It is V8i and version 08.11.09.832. The users are accessing MicroStation through a desktop icon as well through the taskbar (these are both using the same target for startup).
Are these individual user config files? After changing the project to "no project" is the user still the same in the dialog?
They're individual config files in the sense that they're stored locally, but the files have the same content. Yes, the user remains the same once changing to "No Project".
As you are changing which project is being selected it may be that this change would be saved to the User Preference File (UPF). These files are located in a separate folder to the UCF/PCF which is most likely on the users local C:\ drive. You can check where their UPF is siting for their current session in V8i under:
> Workspace > About Workspace
Your users would need Read+Write access to these folder to enter operations like this are working as expected.
