Thanks for popping in to share your solution as well Desarrollador and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I know I'm a little late to the party - however I managed to fix my issue by copying and pasting the file into a different location. As renaming the file itself did not work. Hope this helps someone...

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Tim. I'm certain others will find your tip helpful!

saved my day...I was at my wits end when this error keep coming up but then I read the suggestions here and renamed my file and tadaa….it worked. Thank you so much

That's fantastic, Asma! Glad you found just what you needed. 😊

Made a copy of my file and worked great!

Thanks,

Boyan

This still happens to me quite frequently when the file is on an external drive. Rebooting, nor different USB ports nor anything else I tried until finding this thread has worked... but so far I nearly always have an exact duplicate on a local drive, then "Save As" when I need to update the backup or take the EHD elsewhere. But occasionally I actually need to work on the project from elsewhere. Renaming the file worked for me just now and I thank you all. It's certainly 'odd' and does seem to affect quite a few people… aka 'bug', I think. I'm a happy AS360 convert with 10 years of Captivate behind me (v3.0) and I do hope you can get it sorted out. A minor nuisance, hardly a show-stopper as long as the simple renaming works for you. Cheers!

I just received the same error message, your suggestion worked immediately.

Thank you very much!

Hi Leticia,

Glad that this thread was able to help you out as well. Thanks for popping in to share.

Was the suggestion to rename the file the one that was able to assist you?

I appreciate the confirmation, Leticia.
