= SUMMARY =

When a Microsoft Project file that has been saved as part of a workspace is deleted, and then the workspace is loaded, a message informs you that the file cannot be found. However, unlike Microsoft Excel, which will proceed to load the other workspace files, Project will not. Instead, Project returns to a blank project. Project versions 3.0 and later will open all files upto the error, but stops and does not attempt to open any other remaining files.

= WORKAROUND =

The only workaround is to open the files that were in the workspace and to resave the workspace without the deleted file.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
