Missing custom studies

I have just upgraded to a newer version of Sierra for the first time in a long time. One of my custom studies is missing and I am getting the message that 'custom studies file does not exist', even though I can still see the .dll file in my data folder. Would you be able to advise on how I can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Sara

This issue seems to have resolved on its own, I have a couple of sub instances of Sierra and when I opened the primary instance first, the custom study works fine. Maybe by opening the sub instances before I opened the original instance, this could have caused an error?

Thank you anyway
