Repair project file

Question

Hi Shane 
 i wonder if you would kindly take a look at a project file which may be in need of repair. This has happened before and I uploaded the project folder and you where able to repair the file path to the project. 
 The project was loading fine until this afternoon when my Hevacomp application could not find any of my projects. It could not navigate to the file path where the project folder resides on our company network server. 
 When this occurred previously you sent me an upload link and you where able to repair the data and file path so the project would load. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Alan, your IT will firstly need to ensure that you have full admin permissions to the server in question, as at present it sounds like your security settings are preventing access somewhat - please see here.

Hi Alan, thanks for the details. This is what I would have checked next, so I think you are on the right track. However the software will not be able to update the required files if it does not have full access to the server, so I'm guessing that's why it didn't work for you. 
 There are two files that determine the path, these are located in your Hevacomp projects folder on your C drive. Could you please navigate there and find the following files, and open them in Notepad to see the path that has been specified: 
 PATHS.dat 
 Projects.ndx 
 Please then: 
 1. Manually edit the path to that required, and save both. 
 2. You need to have the exact same files in your Hevacomp Projects folder on your server, so please then copy both of these files and place in your Hevacomp Projects folder on your server, overwriting any that exist there.
