Error, Unable to open workfile

[pschneider]

Hi,

I'm getting an error message trying to open a workfile. "Error reading file xxx". What are possible reasons and solutions for this?

Thanks.

Impossible to say without more details. If possible, could you upload the file?

[pschneider]

Sure, thanks.

Looks like that file has become corrupted somehow.

Probably the easiest thing is to revert to a backup copy (or snapshot if using EViews 10 or higher).

[pschneider]

hmm. its a newly produced workfile, from a program script (attached). is there anything to watch for on that end? for instance, would creating a group with objects from different sources cause a problem?

[EViews Gareth]

To be clear - you run that program, save the workfile, and then immediately try to open it, and it fails?

Also, which version of EViews?

[pschneider]

Yeap thats correct. eviews10

Could you email support@eviews.com a copy of the excel files and anything else required to run the program?
