BUG: System Cannot locate the resource specified

[Paolo F Cantoni]

We perform Batch Imports of a large number of controlled packages.

On some machines, for some (a very small number - 3 out of approximately 100) we get the following error dialog:

Code = 0x800c005
Source = Line: 0; Char: 0
Error Description = The system cannot locate the resource specified

As far as we can tell, the import process is identical.

The machines on which the error doesn't occur have Microsoft Access 2000 installed.  The ones which so far have failed don't have it installed.

Does anyone know what the error means, so we can fix it?

TIA,
Paolo

We've now confirmed, using direct DB queries, that this error corrupts the imported packages...  The rest of the package is NOT imported.

Well, I get this error message when importing XMI and the file specified doesn't exist.

That's probably what you should be looking at first.  (While we look at providing a better error message)

Hit the nail on the head!  Thanx Simon!

They were the only three packages we hadn't correctly replaced with Local Paths in the skeleton.  So their file pointer (as Maxwell Smart would say) "missed by just that much...".

AND YES! Sparx need to output a MUCH better message!

Thanx,
Paolo
