VFP7 Project file not visible

Have been working for years with this project file but all of a sudden
when I attempt to open the project file nothing happens - it is not
visible. No error messages display and no other windows are created -
using the Screen only. The 'Modify Project' help file says: "NOSHOW
Specifies that the Project Manager is hidden (its Visible property is
set to false (.F.)) when it is opened. To display the Project Manager,
set the Project Manager's Visible property to true (.T.)."
There is not a command/flag to SHOW the Project Manager, so how do I
set the Visible property to .T. so I can see my project manager again?
Please. TIA PetC

If the pjx/pjt files got corrupted, you can create a new project, add
your "main.prg" and choose Build to get many, or even all, member
files back.
If not all, you can also drag&drop (single or multi selections) from the
Windows Explorer.

Something like
_vfp.ActiveProject.Visible=.T. && or
For Each oProject In _vfp.Projects
oProject.Visible=.T.
Next

Hi,
My guess is that the project is positioned outside the visual range of your
development environment

Try selecting 'Cascade' in the Windows menu. The PM should be arranged
within the visible range
Another option is deleting the Foxuser.* files prior to starting VFP. This
will reset all window positions to defaults.
If the PM is started with the NOSHOW Clause, the project is available in the
Windows menu as 'Project Manager - projectname'
When you select it from this windows menu, the PM gets shown (Visible=.T.)

HTH,
Sietse Wijnker

Thanks for this Stefan. I get no indication that the file is
corrupted. I have unique stored procedures that are still working so I
presume the Project Manager is working in the background. I don't
have a copy of the Stored Procedures (elsewhere that I know of) and
don't know where/how Program Manager stores/accesses them. For this
reason I hesitate to build a new Project if there is any hope of
making the original Visible again. I am aware of how to do it, as you
explain - thanks just the same.

I didn't previously know about _VFP.ActiveProject.Visisble=.T. -
thanks. It runs but didn't work - I opend my project and ran this in
the command window but nothing appeared to occur. I am now tryiing to
figure out another way to attack this feature. I appreciate your
indulgence Stefan. Thanks. Peter

The project.pjx itself does not contain much - only version number,
author etc., all those infos you'd get via AGetFileVersion() from
the resulting.exe
And the info about which files you might have included manually or
marked as excluded (like reports you prefer to ship separately).

The "Stored Procedures" as visible in the data tab are stored in
their database(s) directly

Sietse's idea sounds promising: if the project is out of screen, as
caused by a foxuser.* which was in use with a different screen
resolution previously, you can also move its window directly
cWindow = "Project Manager - " + ;
JUSTSTEM(_vfp.ActiveProject.Name)
MOVE WINDOW (cWindow) TO 1,1
