You have a link to a file or a picture in your project but the file or picture is not there anymore.
You have to search for it manually in the previous version.

Hi
I have just updated my version 10 to the latest version, I now get the above message whenever I try to open the project that I was working on immediately prior to updating. I have tried restoring a backup, that didnt help, I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the version I was working on but that gives me a message that the project was created on a later version of X5 can anyone help
Thanks
Steve
My answer is still what you have to do. There is a link to a picture or document or website somewhere. and the object where it points to has been removed. You need to find this (or these links) and correct them.
