PRJ41: Can't Run TimeTrak (Update Resources) Program (137841)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Project for Windows 95 4.1, when used with:
    • the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.51

This article was previously published under Q137841

SYMPTOMS

When you run a Microsoft Project add-in such as the Update Resources program found on the Tracking toolbar, the following error message appears if the active project is saved to a location other than the program directory:
Can't run 16-bit Windows program. Cannot find file <filename> (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.
The same error message appears if a Visual Basic for applications macro uses the AppExecute method and the full path to the executable file is not specified.

RESOLUTION

When you use the AppExecute method, be sure to supply the full path to the executable file. For example, change the button command for Update Resources from this
   AppExecute Command:="Timetrak.exe"
				
to this:
   AppExecute Command:="" & Application.Path & "\Timetrak.exe"
				
To change the command for a toolbar button, press CTRL and click the toolbar button. Change the command in the Customize Tool dialog box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
