Encountering the error message "Cannot Save File xxxx.ACD. File not found" in RSLogix 5000 is a frustrating situation that many users have experienced. This issue occurs when attempting to save or do a Save As operation at the end of the day. The error persists whether saving to a local hard drive or a network drive, regardless of using the same name or a new one. This problem, witnessed in Version 19, leaves users seeking solutions. Any thoughts on how to resolve this persistent issue?
One common query is whether the project was opened from a local drive or a network drive. Another question to consider is whether the project has been automatically saving *.BAK files. Despite using v19 for more than a year, this issue has not been personally experienced.
I haven't personally worked on this specific system, so I may not have all the answers you're looking for at the moment, Ken. Currently, the system is connected to a network drive, allowing me to access all the necessary files. However, when attempting to save a new file, it is created blank and an error message pops up. I am unable to find any incremental .bak files from earlier in the day.
I have encountered a similar situation when accessing files from a network drive and then relocating my computer within the workplace, resulting in a temporary loss of network connection. Despite this, I have found that the 'Save As' function still enables me to save the file with a new name.
In my experience, I encountered a similar situation on version 19.1. To start, open File "A" and make edits. Then, open File "B" from a separate folder while keeping File "A" open. After that, save and close File 'A'. It's worth noting that File A will be saved in the same location as File B. Thank you.
OZEE reported encountering a recurring issue with RSLogix 5000 when attempting to save files. The message "Cannot Save File xxxx.ACD. File not found" appears when trying to save or do a Save As, regardless of whether using a local hard drive or a network drive. This problem occurs in Version 19 and has been observed on multiple computers. Have you found a solution to this issue?
I've suffered from this same issue before and yes, it's quite frustrating. However, I managed to find my way around it based on a friend's suggestion. The core problem seemed to be that RSLogix 5000 needed some file paths that had been lost, resulting in the "File not found" error. I was able to solve this by doing a complete uninstall of RSLogix 5000 and then reinstalling it, making sure to reboot in between. This prompted the software to recreate any lost file paths and solved the issue. Remember to back up your projects before you do the uninstall. This works in most cases, but of course, each scenario might be different.
Hey, I faced a similar problem earlier and found that it might be linked to your RSLogix 5000 software trying to backup the file during the save process. A workaround could involve periodically saving your work with a new file name or temporarily disabling automatic backups while saving. Remember to turn them back on though — those backups can be lifesavers! Additionally, look out for any updates or patches as they might contain the solution to these occasional glitches.
