Hello, I just started get errors that close out AB when I select a certain unit. It never did this before. What's going on?


Thanks,

Keith

What data files are you using, what unit are you talking about, did
you change ANYTHING in the data files since it last worked?
Check the comments/notes/report fields for the unit and any auto
selected options - I have known AB to crash when fed larger than
normally allowed amounts of text in these fields...

Cheers,
Russell.

I just deleted that unit, and now one of the other units is giving the errors.


Thanks,

Keith

Sounds like corruption in one of the data files...
Try using abcreate /t to create a text version of the file - eyeball
that with something like excel (it's a tab seperated file) and then
recreate your data file from the text file using abdata. If there's
errors there, abdata will probably find them.
Make sure you backup the data files first!

Don't think there's any other way I could help without actually
seeing the files...

Cheers,
Russell.

The other thing to try is to make all the options on the offending units
into cost-natured options (and unhide them all). The unit ought to load
(I think), and then you can test option combos until you find the
offender.

Alternatively, skip out various option attributes until it works.

Found the problem guys. It was my error that caused it. I had the "unit" attribute add the option id instead of the unit id.


Thanks,

Keith
