Illogically freaking… Why was that.. But your simple answer worked though. Thanks dude..!

I DID have exactly two spaces in my folder, I deleted them and all my files open now. Thanks so much!!

[Kelly Tan]

Thank you David! Your solution works so well I had to create an account to come thank you. (;

Logging back into my account for the first time in forever to say that even in 2017, this ancient thread is still saving peoples’ butts! Was almost at the point of freaking out when a client sent me some old files to repurpose for a quick-turn edit and the project “didn’t exist.”

So, that’s six years later and this problem still exists. I tried all solutions offered here and the only one that worked was David Wehle.

TWO spaces in the folder was the culprit.

Thank you and kudos for piercing this mystery.

Im just create an account to tell that the same problem and the same strange solution persists on September of 2020. Adobe is incredible, this error is mitic and I dont see the moment of someone defeating Adobe with new software

This solved a problem for me. I was freaking out that my project was corrupted. Thanks a lot.
