Question for any Latex Texniccenter Users

M

Can someone help me out , I am trying to set up a new write up and am getting strange things happening when I am trying to compile the files. Soemtims Texniccenter compiles the file I am working on and shows the corrct PDF file, I then mae an amendnment in one of the chapters and try compiling the main file again and thee PDf that is shown is that of an old project that I don't even hav open. A I doing something stupid (probably) or is this a known "feature" of Latex / Texniccenter. Pleas can someone give me some pointers as it is doing my head in, I sat down with good intentions of getting some writing done this morning and the only thing constructive I have managed is this post.
Thanks

I must say I never had that problem with texnic-center, though there are lots of little things it does a bit strange. With pdfs it's really important to close the previous version of the pdf before re-compiling or it gets very confused! I eventually forked out the 20 dollars for winedt latex version. Now I'm using texmaker which isn't quite as good. Oh and (just in case) try saving all changes before recompiling, check your compile paths. Sorry this was more of a sympathy post, you're not alone with the quirks of latex :)

Thanks Mathkitty, I have ben working sinc I put my post without any problems, until I just tried to run Bibtex and I know get the same problem again (the PDF is the previous document I was working on). The current ile I am using is a template I have just downloaded so it is the form of tex files not a project, is this possibly what is causing my issues do I need to convert this into a project?
Thanks for any advice you can offer

Just managed to find the problem, it was the project path was still set to the old file.
Thanks
