Hi guys,
I receive this error message when I try to open my Eviews file: "File does not meet .WF1 workfile specification. See also screenshot in attached document. Any suggestions? I had done some work in this file and would like to recover it.
Thanks,
Thomas

Re: Error meassage when reading file
Either it's not an EViews file or the file has been corrupted. In the latter case, if you have a backup file with the extension "~.f1" make a copy, change the extension to "wf1" and try loading that.
Re: Error meassage when reading file
Thank you. How would I change the extension to wf1? I do have a "~.fi" file byt when I try to open it wiht Eviews7 it open it in a different program (virtualization client, some art design program) which is very strange. Therefore, I cannot change the extension using the "save as" function like I would normally do.

Just change in the file name in Windows.
Re: Error meassage when reading file
Ok, I have done this. However, the error meassage remains to be the same. Any other ideas to restore the file? Thank you.

My guess is you're out of luck.
