When I try to open my project file, I get the error "Project file is invalid". I can open the project file with "Use MyProject.pjx". Do you think that there is any solution for my problem?
Best regards,

HI
YOur project file is corrupt. YOu need to first copy the project and duplicate it in a different dorectory.. so that.. any recovery attempt dont fail you in total. (Because you can attempt several ways again and again).
Having secured the project backup... sujject open the project as you did..
USE myProject.pjx and pack it. This could solve the problem. If not, you have to browse thru the project file and identify the rows giveing you the result. Then mark that as deleted and try opening. You can achieve some degree of success in recovering the project.
Hope this helps you :) ramani :)

Jus delete both project files (.pjx,.pjt) and recreate your project by creatin a new project in the same directory as the previous one and adding you main program and related files, and re-compile (it will ask you for files not found as you go along and you can point the project to them as needed)

NOTE: Before you do this make a backup copy of you project just in case

Thank you mganon,
I creat a new project, as you said, and I added to it just my main program and the first form that I call it. I was very surprised when I saw that my new project seems to look exactly like my old one. It seems to work fine.
Thank you again!!!

Glad that help, it's frustrating sometimes to work at something for months, only to have it destroyed in an instant. :-(
