Region Code errors Options

[ditchlight]

I am getting region code errors with several of the AG4 templates for the Canton route. These errors point to the tdb file so before I reinstall the whole route I will start by asking the dumb questions. What causes these errors? Has anyone else experienced these errors? Is it something that can be tracked down and fixed without reinstalling the route? It has not been all that long since I used the old template and had no problems.

Hi Doug,

Have generated some SLG acts tonight and I did experience the same type of messages as you did when I have opened AG with the LOCALS Template (happened at least three times) but disappeared once re-opening AG. It is kind of strange to see this because I have not experienced this when building and testing the templates. I have examined the SWLTDB and the PRO files but found nothing to suggest the messages you and I have received. I have Windows 7 but all my MSTS folders (and even my MSTS apps including AG) are outside the Program Files folder to save myself from any troubles with Win7.

It may be one of the mysteries of life that never gets resolved

With MSTS under Win7, it takes a little more knowledge to handle some of the inconveniences Win 7 brings. Quite a feat MSTS has been still standing there over all these years and AG as well! (Thanks Steve for this great and enjoyable product!!)

Am still enjoying today AG with all these available templates from all our colleagues.

I am wondering if maybe you might have had my old Canton template installed before you updated to Denis's? That might cause you to have things that don't match up in the various template files.

It isn't hard to reinstall ActivityGenerator, if you need a new direct link email me directly at SteveDavis@skylinecomputing.com and I'll send you a link to the full install.

If it's a template problem that won't solve it. In that case I'd delete any files in the \Activities folder of the Canton route with dates in 2011 (when I presume you installed the template), and further delete anything in that folder ending with .csv or .pro. Next re-install the template.

Sorry to hear about your problems. Denis is your best bet to solve this as he is the template author.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

The first thing I did when I had trouble was to unzip the old template to a temporary folder in order to ID all of the included files then deleted all of those files from my msts folder. After reinstalling the new template, there was no change in behavior. As to the AG install, I had cause to request that from you about 6 months ago (October, I believe) and I still have that download as well as a subsequent update should I need them. Workorders show v.4.2.12. At this time, since no other templates are having this problem, I have no reason to believe that it is my AG installation.

Denis has a lot on his plate judging by his comments in the template forum. If he is perplexed by puzzles like I am, he may continue to look into the problem. I he is busy with other updates, etc., I would not blame him in the least, since there is a workaround to the glitch, if he called it good and moved on. I have often found major CTD's to be caused by such simple things as a typo inside the quotatio n marks in a file name.

I can't thank all of you enough for this program, the templates, and the advice.
