[TRNSYS-users] problem with prebid and lost files

[David Bradley]

Eleni,
   I think there is just a problem of path names. When you get the 
message "File c:\Program does not exist" it is a good indication that 
whatever path name is being referenced should have quotes around it. 
If you use Windows Explorer to search for all files with the 
extension *.bui, I am sure that you will find all 6. I would then 
suggest that you move those files into the same directory that 
contains your Studio project file (*.tpf), then go to the Type56 
"External Files" tab and browse again to reattach the *.bui files. If 
that doesn't work, please send your *.tpf and *.bui file to me and I 
will see if I can find any problems.
Cheers,
  David
