SYMPTOMS
When Developer Studio (Msdev.exe) cannot find the make (.mak) file that corresponds to the workspace (.mdp file) you are attempting to open, it does not give you any indication of the problem. It does not report an error, and most of the commands on the Insert or Build menus are disabled.



RESOLUTION
Make sure that the .mak file that corresponds to the workspace is in the same directory as the .mdp file and has the same base name. For example, if the workspace file is Myproject.mdp, make sure that a file named Myproject.mak exists in the same directory.



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