Bryan G. Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Ok maybe I took to long a break over the holidays, and this my be one of those OOOPS moments, but can anyone tell me why I cannot get 2010 to open my 2008 files. I get an error message every time. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 what kind of error message? Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 "Failure on attempt to open file" VW2008 still opens them like a champ. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Could you post one of the problem files here? Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 First time i have ever sent a file, so hope this works. Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 interesting. when I download my own file that I just posted, VW2010 then tells me it is an older file and will be converted and opened. I do not have this question arise when I try to open the files directly from 2010. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Try running disk utilities and repair permissions. Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Alright, checked disk (all is ok) and still not working. PS sorry it took a while to get back to you. I had to step outside and experience the heat wave (24) its been below zero way to long. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Did you repair permissions? Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Permissions were fine did a repair anyway but still have the problem. I was just about to email myself a plan to see if that would do anything.(however I would still need another solution due to I do not want to email thousands of plans) Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Are the files on a local drive or a network? Have you tried copying the file to your desk top and open from there? Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks Ray, a very simple fix (gotta be the cold air up here freezing the brain cells). I was pulling the file from a Lacie hard drive connected with firewire. Still a little confused why 2008 had no problem opening them though but the first plan I moved now opens so I will try a few more. Thanks for the help I'll keep you updated if it completely fixes the issue. Quote Link to comment
