| Problem: | Why didn’t my project save? |
| Problem: | Project has reverted to a previous state |
| Problem: | Project has different data than the last time it was opened |
| Fix: | Sometimes there is confusion between the Primavera Contractor program shortcut and an XER backup file. Primavera program shortcut:
Primavera XER file:
If a user double-clicks an XER file, it will open up Contractor and automatically start the Import wizard. Sometimes users think that this is supposed to happen and go through the Import wizard and click Finish. The result is that they inadvertently restore a backup of a previous version of a project, overwriting their previous work. One way to avoid this is to always open Contractor from the Windows Start Button and never opening Contractor from the desktop. |
