Problem:

Net Express attempts to load the last project on startup but for some reason the IDE won't load. Does this mean it is corrupt?

Resolution:

It may mean the IDE is corrupt, therefore try the following:

1. Open a Net Express Command Prompt.
2. Go to Start > Programs > Micro Focus Net Express 5.0 > Net Express Command Prompt.
3. At the command line enter: mfnetx /n.
4. If this works, you probably have a corrupt project (.APP) file.

If the project is corrupt, you will need to recreate your project from scratch. You may want to turn off the feature Reload files and last project on startup by performing the following:

1. Start > Programs > Net Express > Command Prompt.
2. Enter MFNETX /N(no project) which will bring up the Net Express IDE.
3. Select Options > Customize IDE.
4. Select Workspace.
5. Disable Reload Files and Last Project on Startup.
