I am unable to load any files from any game system. I haven't touched
any of the files to move them since I installed AB on my new hard
drive. The only files I have moved or been able to deal with at all
are roster files. I am hopeing to do some adjusting to 40k 2nd ed
files most, as that is what I use AB for most.

I had to do this just before I stopped work on the 40k files, when the Iron
Warriors etc came out in White Dwarf. The way to do it works as follows:
Create an option called something like "+1 Heavy Support". Give it to all
the Iron Warriors Heavy Support units (Havocs, etc). Then give it the
following attributes:
type:IWExtraHev
acmp:HvyS+1u
acmp:Fast-2u
Then add another lglx attribute. With this attribute, you want to disable
the option in any rulesets that have less than two heavy support choices
(for example, Battle: Defender, Raid: Defender, etc). It'll look something
like:
lglx:!(mode=btldef|mode=rddef|...)
Then the last thing you need to do is make sure the option can only be
taken once. Add a race attribute for the Iron Warriors, using tlmt,
ensuring that only one unit of type "IWExtraHev" can be taken, and you're
set. You can use the same idea for the Word Bearers, and all the other
'special' legions, too.
Hope this helps,

Could you be slightly more specific about your problem? I'm afraid from
your description, I have no idea what is going on...

Do the game systems show up in Army Builder?
In which directory is Army Builder installed?
In which directory are the files you're trying to open in ABCreator?

Do the game systems show up in Army Builder?
In which directory is Army Builder installed?
In which directory are the files you're trying to open in ABCreator?
