(1) is not a valid index for.

I'm trying to run a forecast and each time I click the forecast button, I get the above error.

The version is EViews 9.5 September 21, 2016 Build.

The equation I'm running the forecast from is "Barometer Total AR"....

I had this issue once before, but somehow the error went away. It is back again, and I can't get past it.

Looks like an issue with links. You can convert the underlying series (barometer_total) to a series (open it, click on Properties->Values and select Numeric Data), then re-estimate the equation and forecast.

We'll fix the link issue though.
