Plan Files

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble finding plan files in 'windows explorer'. I can find them fine in Chief and I can find older plan files in explorer, but not newer ones. The file paths seem to be the same yet nowhere to be seen.

 

I have Chief 9.5 and Windows Vista.

 

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanx for reply, Lew.

 

Strangely, when I search using those parameters, I only get a small handfull of returns, most of which are not even Chief files. I have hundreds of plan files, so it's odd that windows can't see them. Chief sees them fine, obviously.

not sure why, but if Chief can see them then they are on your PC somewhere

 

ver 9.5 allowed you to set the various paths for where Chief's components could be found

 

I think it was in preferences

 

it just occurred to me that maybe you have your windows folder settings

set to "hide" some file types ???

 

you may need to contact a PC tech support vendor to see why windows can't find the files

that Chief can see

 

this doesn't sound like a Chief issue

I think we are out of ideas

 

This is a windows issue

 

you need someone to show you how to use/configure Windows Explorer to see the files

 

you could contact CA's tech support but since you have an older (antique) version

there would be a charge

 

or contact David Potter as I think he still has ver 9.5 running along with all the other

versions of Chief and the HD products

 

he advises/trains via the internet as a business

so he would also charge - but probably less than CA ???
