    Last Error [50000] Failed to compile a moniker from given string. Not found

      Product(s): ProjectWise Explorer Client
      Version(s): 08.11.11.574
      Area:  Messaging Service

    Error or Warning Message

    Last Error [50000] Failed to compile a moniker from given string. Not found

    Explanation

    User receives an email with a link to a document in Projectwise. When he clicks the link he gets an error message

    Last Error [50000] Failed to compile a moniker from given string. Not found."

    There are a few known issues about this error message:

    • It could be that the link was created using the URL option, and the URL path is longer than the Windows limit of 255 characters.
    • There could be a character from a different language other than English
    • The file in ProjectWise was moved or deleted.

    How to Avoid

    Option 1 Ways to create a link to a file in Projectwise

    1. In the Address bar, Right click the path and choose copy URL then paste it into an email or document. This will provide the full path in the hyperlink

    2. In the Address bar, Right click the path and choose copy URN then paste it into an email of document. This will provide a short path that includes the guid name of the file.

    3. Right click the file or a group of files and choose ‘send to’ \ ‘mail recipient as link’.   If you are in SS4 or later, the link will be pasted using the URN path.   In older versions this process would use the URL.  There is a user setting called "Use URN links" that will ensure the user is using the URN link with the ‘send to’ option.
    4. Other benefits of using the URN is that if the file is moved, it will still be found, since ProjectWise is directed to find the guid name versus the path.
