Project Associate Fatal Error

[kdixon]

In Land Dessktop 2008, this fatal error pops up and affects all of my drawings!
I open the drawing and as the drawing is loading, it prompts me and says "Drawing1.dwg is not associated with a project. Do you want to select or create a project for this drawing?" Yes or No. If I click "no" the drawing opens up fine, if I click "yes"
I get a "FATAL ERROR: Unhandled e067363h Exception at 7c812aebh" and the autocad shuts down. It seems I am unable to open any drawing that is already associated with a project because that fatal error pops up. Sometimes I can recover the drawing and open it.

You know it's bad when you're answering your own question....but this is for others out there...
THIS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING PROBLEM was occuring because after doing an autocad rep-install, a default "land projects 2008" folder was created in my drawing directory.
I currently keep all of my draings in a folder called just "land projects" instead of "land projects 2008" because the year is deceiving. Since then, when opening any autocad drawing, now that the new folder (land projects 200 was created, autocad was looking in it for something. I don't know what, even though it's completely empty.To fix this problem, all I had to do was delete that "land projects 2008" folder and my drawings open up fine. There's probably some other issues associated with deleting this folder, but I'll have to figure it out as it comes.

Thanks for posting your solution.

Now that we've fixed the problem, we now partially believe this occurs because we (our offices) continuously work on our drawings between our various office locations around the country which are causing what seems to be these "project association" errors. The Land Desktop drawing file seems to be constantly looking for the original location where it was created. If anyone knows a solution to this problem I'd greatly appreciate it, unless moving to Civil 3D is the only one.
