I found the solution for the first type of error. In my look over of the file name I assumed that the - wouldn't vary. But, for some reason the files were named with a slighter fatter hyphen: – I didn't write the code, so I'm not really sure how there ended up to be two random fat hyphen's where all the others are normal, but at least it's working. This is entirely a user thing, I don't think TestComplete affected this at all.
However, the second type of error that I described in the above post is still popping up error messages whenever I open the project. (If I didn't make that clear, the project will still open with the projects still there.. the only problem is the error message which gets annoying seeing as there's 5 of them every time I open the entire project.)
