Peter,

check the folders and files tables in your database for orphaned entries - and filenames with apostrophs, colons or other critical characters. That's the only idea I have atm. HTH

Ok, i finally found out what the problem was. I deleted the orphan files in the database manually. I found the way to do this  in another thread. This is how they described it (with thanx to Fabian):
To find out which files are in the db and not in the file system (otphans) is to access the file manager, of course you'll get the error message, then you go to the logs and check the reported errors. In one of the last 4 errors you'll find the folder (or file ?) that is missing somewhere in the message. Then you might apply the following sql query :

DELETE dbo.Files WHERE FolderID in ( FolderID FROM dbo.Folders WHERE FolderPath = 'FolderPathToDeleteHere')
DELETE dbo.Folders WHERE FolderPath = 'FolderPathToDeleteHere'

Be carfull about what you do, be sure that you understand this query. Also backup you db (at least the tables Files and Folders) before doing this.

An error has occurred.

What is wrong here, and what can i do to resolve this problem?

I would like to comment on this error.

IF you see this error it is very unlikely that it is actually caused by the Permissions Grid itself.  This error is most likely caused by an earlier error in the Page_Load method of the File Manager.  At the end of the Page Load method is the following block of code:

                If LastFolderPath <> DestPath Then
                    PageIndex = 0
                    GeneratePermissionsGrid()
                End If
                LastFolderPath = DestPath

            Catch exc As Exception    'Module failed to load
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
            End Try

The two important lines are in red.  IF an error happens in Page Load before the first red line, then the code will be trapped by the Catch block, and the permissions grid will NEVER be initialised.

So if you see this error - it is 99% certain that you have an exception in Page_load, which may occur for a number of reasons (mostly poor synchronisation between File System and Database), but in 4.3.6 we have made an effort to fix most of these issues.
