Hello, 

I'm using Powerbuilder 2017R2. 
Recently, the system tree switched from showing my workspace to showing my computer drives. This changed happened sometime between closing it and reopening it another day. I am able to right click and "Set Root..." to my current workspace, but if I do this, I am unable to use certain features such as "Get Latest Version", "Check In", "Check Out", "Undo Check Out" etc. I also only have access to the following menu items: File, Run, Tools, Window and Help. Additionally, when I close and reopen the program, it shows me the drives again rather than the workspace. 

Is there any other way to change the system tree back to showing the workspace?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mary;

  Please try the following ...

1) In PB IDE's "System Options" dialogue's "General" tab page - locate the "working" PB.ini file & location

2) Close the IDE

3) At the location from step#1, open the PB.ini in Notepad.

4) Locate the "DOCK=" entry.

5) Replace the current Dock line with the following ...

Dock=1 2001 0 1 23 63 0 0 320 169 2003 0 1 23 37 0 0 320 169 2002 3 1 23 100 0 0 320 169

6) Close and save the PB.ini

7) Restart the PB IDE

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Hello again, sorry for the delay.

I tried that and there was still no change to the system tree.

Wow ... you have certainly encountered a very weird situation!

My suggestion now is to open a Support Ticket for this issue. Then we could schedule an online meeting to review this issue further.

I'd try uninstalling and re-installing.  Sounds like something got corrupted.

We found a workaround by opening the IDE through the start menu then navigating to the workspace rather than opening the workspace directly through the file explorer.



Thank you!
