Stewart, I will try to take this slowly. Just because a file is listed under File > Project Window > More Tasks > Gedcom File Tasks it does not guarantee it is a Project, FH may think it is a standalone Gedcom file. When you refer to File > Project Window > “current project” do you mean the entry above the Family Historian Projects pane, labelled "Current Project:"? Again, if it appears there, but not in the Family Historian Projects pane, then FH thinks it is a standalone Gedcom file, not a Project. To be a valid Project the following folder & file structure must exist (assuming Project is named "Project Name"): \Family History\Project Name\Project Name.fh_data\ \Family History\Project Name\Project Name.fh_proj (FH project data file) \Family History\Project Name\Project Name.fh_data\Project Name.ged (Gedcom file) \Family History\Project Name\Project Name.fh_data\Media\ Use Windows Explorer to check if the above structure exists, and report back. Depending on what (if anything) is missing, the resolution may be different.

I keep everything on Dropbox. There, my master folder is named ‘Family History’ and this contains all my FH projects and media and other relevant files. I saved the master folder. After the saving process - which seemed to go well- I checked that all had been saved correctly only to find one complete project missing. Only one project hadn’t been copied- no evidence whatsoever of it in the project list! Several others had been copied. I then checked to see that all was well with my FH projects on my computer. It wasnt! On opening the project window that same one project name was missing. After a few moments of panic I reassured myself as I found that the backup copy was functional and the media stored. I then went Project window > More tasks > Gedcom file tasks to find that the ‘missing’ project was listed 3 times! I tried to open them only to find that two of them would not open - ‘file path not valid’. However one could be opened and all, including media, seemed fine again. I pressed ‘Save’ in the hope that I would ensure that it was a saved project and when it was open I went File > Project Window and saw that the “current project” was listed correctly ( i.e. the missing file’s name). However, on reopening the FH program, the file was still unlisted- missing!! Please- how can I reinstate this project? Easy steps please!!
