Hiresolved this issue by doing a repair installation...- the Events were listed in the project explorer as it should so hadn't deleted anything..- tried forcing it to regenerate the .tcCfgExtender file. but this didn't help either.even when creating a new Project could not edit the events so figured something had got corrupt big time so last resort was Reinstall..Thanks for your help anyway..repair did the trick so happy bunny again! :)cheersK

I am wondering if you accidently removed a file. You should have this structure in the project tree for events, take a look at the attached screenshot too.&nbsp;Project Name&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Advanced&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Events&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Event Configuration File&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Script&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Events&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - An event script&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Another event scriptYou configure the events by clicking on the event configuration file. In the attached screenshot mine is called 'GeneralEvents'. My event scripts are just named the same as the events they are tied too to make it quick for me to add /remove events as required. Hope this helps.&nbsp;

There should be a file with your project name on it in your project suite folder. The extension will be ".tcCfgExtender". With Test Complete closed try to rename this file to ".tcCfgExtenderBAK" and then open your project suite again. Test Complete should recreate this file. More than likely it is there but corrupt or invalid somehow.
