Problem Title:
Design Manager 6.0.1:  Error "unhandled exception, invalid file name"
onstartup



Problem Description:
Key Words: unhandled, exception, invalid, file

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When loading Design Manager, the following error message is
issued	"unhandled exception, invalid file name"

This is caused by a corrupted .PRJ file.


Solution 1:

(1)  Exit out of Design Manager.
(2)  Edit the DSGNMGR.INI file, which is found in the
     \WINDOWS directory, by removing the problematic
     project from the 'CURRENT=' line and the 'PROJECT='
     line, and save.
(3)  Delete the .PRJ and .BAK files in the XPROJECT directory.
(4)  Reinvoke Design Manager, and recreate a new .PRJ for
     the project.  This will restore the original directory
     structure of the project.
