All of a sudden some topics I have written today are not recognized.
I cannot find them in my Topics folder.
I also cannot create a new topic anymore (the option is blanked out).
Closing the Project and reopening and all the files a greyed out...
What's going on?
Topic not recognized, no new topics

Re: Topic not recognized, no new topics
Is the project read only? Perhaps the drive it is on is not accessible or someone else has the project open (maybe you have a second copy open yourself?)

Hi Gareth,
It's not possible to see the possible situation in your screenshot, unfortunately, because it only shows the entries in the TOC.

- Where is the project stored?
- Is it a single-file HMXZ or an uncompressed HMXP?
- What happens if you quit Help+Manual and restart Windows?

Re: Topic not recognized, no new topics
- Stored on a server. I already access hundreds of H+M files from here and no others seem to be affected.
- HMXP
- Same thing.
Re: Topic not recognized, no new topics
If I click some topics, they opens and turns black.
Some issue the Topic is read-only! File "name" is locked..." warning, although it still displays.
Still can't add topics.

Copying to the C drive resolves the problem, so it must be server related.
Still lost a load of topics somehow.

Hi Gareth,
It might be a permissions problem for your Windows account. Or possibly network errors.

That's actually very unlikely, unless there is some other program involved that is trying to "clean up" your project folder or something like that. When you have uncompressed HMXP projects it's very very difficult to lose topics completely. Have a look directly in the \Topics subfolder of the project on the original server drive.
