Unable to read project

[briprogram]

When opening a solution with a .sln extension. VStudio 2000 opens and the project starts to open then every file in the solution .vbproj, vdproj will not open.
Each file I get the message similar to

Unable to read the project nameoffile.vbproj. The system cannot find the specified path.

How can I get these .vbproj and vdproj's to open.

This solution is from a preplogic book cd example. I have moved the zip files off the cd and expanded the zip files for the solution into its own folder. Taken off read and hidden on all files.

Thanks
Brian

do the projects open if you try to open them alone?

I'm suspecting a dependency in your project file is not being found.

You can open your .vbproj file in Notepad and see what it has references to, and make sure they exist.

Every Project in the Solution says the project file cannot be found. They are there in the projects path but are not being found by visual studio.
Also opened the file netsql.vbproj one of the project files that did not open. One of the projects that could not open and this is the code in it.

I understand what the problem is now. I took a deeper look into the .sln file. Which gives the path to every project in the solution. The paths were not correct on every project in the .sln file.
Heres one example
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 7.00
Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "NetSql", "NetSql.vbproj", "{8E6AB396-7957-4492-B4A7-FA755B09A8E7}"
EndProject

These few lines above where it shows "NETSQL.VBPROJ", the .sln file had put netsql|netsql.vbproj. I had to take a the folder which had been placed in front of each of the files to each project in the solution file out.

Thanks for all your help
