[WD21] The old ghost is back! (no replies)

Hi all,

Some time ago I moved all the elements of my app from the old app file to a brand new app file. This was a major job. I did it in order to get rid of some old persistent problems and weird errors, that had piled up inside Windev during many years and "upgrades". For a while it seemed that it worked; the old ghost errors did not show up.

Until today. I again got this weird error after doing a change in the analysis and coming back to the app:

**********************************************

Error loading E:\AppName\ReportName.wde report.
Unable to find file. Check whether file name and path are correct.

**********************************************

Technical Information

What happened?
Error loading E:\AppName\ReportName.wde report.
Unable to find file. Check whether file name and path are correct.

Error code: 0
Level: non-fatal error

Dump of the error of 'WDEtat.DLL' module (21.0.123.2).
Additional Information:
EIT_SRCFILE : <E:\AppName\ReportName.wde>

What is weird in this? The app has NOT been on E: disk for at least (approx.) the last 5 years. It has lately been on D: disk, and I have even changed the development directory name to include the WD version number, so the current name is E:\AppName21\ReportName.wde! And I cannot find any reference to the wrong filename, when I search the app (GUI and code). So it's some old, obsolete piece of data hidden somewhere, popping up again and again under certain circumstances, sometimes, not regularly.

And obviously I just can't get rid of it. Fortunately, it does not seem to cause any actual problems during development or runtime.

Best regards
Ola
