Run Time Error 13, Type Mismatch Options

[loqtes]

I am very new to AG. In fact I am trying to complete my first one so this could be operator error. Here is what I have determined.

I have the Cascade Crossings Route and I have downloaded the template. When I start the AG I tell it I want the WB file. It loads that fine and I get to the screen where all the choices are made. Some of the decisions work just fine when I click OK to generate the activity I get a screen to give it a name. At other times when I click generate I get a Run Time Error 13 Type Mismatch. I have been playing with this and here is what I have found.

The path I choose is Crescent Lake to Klamath.

On the top right I choose the Crescent Lake, Mowich, Gilchrest locations for pick ups.
In the middle right I choose Chemult, Diamond Lake and Lenz as working locations.
On the bottom right I can choose anything else except Chiloquin or Wocus. The minute I do I either get the run time error immediately or when I click the OK to generate button?

I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I ran Activity Master on the template and it stated I was short 4 cars. I had Activity Master replace those four cars.

Anyway, this has me puzzled...thanks

Some times I have problems with mismatch errors when the cartype in the SWLTDB don't match the car type as shown in AM.

Example the car in the SWLTDB for activity may be looking for a coal hopper empty with a car type of "CLMT" but if you look at the car in AM it will be listed as cartype "CLE".

If this is the case edit the car type in AM to match the cartype in the activity. Or if you feel qualified to edit files in MS note pad edit all the locations in the SWLTDB for that template changing the car type to match the AM car type.

Remember to backup a copy of the unchanged SWLTDB file before you edit it.

Remember to save the file that you changed to CSV format.


Good luck.
