Problem with activity generator Options

[ideaman]

Hi Steve. First question is do I need all of the previous generators for the new up grade to work. I was upgrading all of my routes and fixing any errors that I came across and putting them on discs and adding any upgrade templates. This is when I dicovered I was having problems. So I deleted the generator and reinstalled 3.0.1 (I think as I didn't mark it down) now I get  runtime error 62 input past end of file.  Runtime error 53 file not found  and missing file preamble dat  aborting Contact Skyline. Also on some routes when you click on activities it comes up blank. Now quite possible I screwed this up myself but I don't know what I did. And yes the generator is installed in the program files. I have reinstalled before without any problems.  The shape view finder was never installed. Any help would be much appriciated Greg

The update should be installed over the top of your existing, functioning version of AG.  The update does not include all of the needed files.  You say that you have backed up AG.  Did you backup the entire folder?  If so, you should be able to simply copy this folder from the back  up CD ROM into the usual place.  Once you do, verifiy that it works, and then install the update over it.

One thing to check:  make sure that AG is trying to access the correct directories through the path it should.  Sometimes we have heard from users who just could not get AG to work, only to discover that somehow AG was looking in the wrong place for the files -- similar to your statement about not finding the activities.

If you cannot back up to a point where AG was working properly, then maybe you should download the most recent full version.  To do this, I think you will need to contact Steve.
