Hi Friedrich,

When attempting to open a project from a client I got this strange error,
see attached screenshot. Seems to be coming from the operating system
rather than SB directly. Note that I _only_ have the sb script but none of
the linked files. If I click the "Continue" button several times the script
opens so my guess is that it is attempting to reference the linked files and
not finding them. The script has several references to F:\ drive which is a
card reader disk letter on my computer so there is no "drive" in it.

Yes, it is definitely related to the F:\ drive reference as the number of
"Continue" clicks seems to fit with the number of files on the F:\ drive in
the script. I get this error each time I select a folder in the
"Destination Computer" tree that references files on the "F:\" drive.

On my computer the F:\ drive letter is associated with a built-in card
reader.

I'm on build 7.2.3062.

Best regards,

Hi Arnór,

Hmm, strange. I also have .sb7 projects with references to drives that do
not exist on our machines, but I do not see such a system error message.
The IDE makes use of the SetErrorMode API to suppress this kind of Windows
system errors, so I am not sure if there is anything else I can do. BTW, I
have tested this on 2000, XP, Vista and Win7.

The drive exists, but there is no disk in it if that makes sense. I.e. the
F: drive exists and shows up in Explorer but since there is no card in it,
it seems to trigger this error. My guess is that this will only happen on
card reader drives. If I click on this drive in Total Commander it tells me
"Drive not found" The drive type in TC is shown as "Removable Disk"

Best regards,
