Hornresp error 62

Hey good people. I need some help. I recently downloaded the latest version of hornresp and installed it. Since that "update" I've been getting the -runtime error 62- when opening some of my designs. It's very frustrating and I really hope I haven't lost my designs. I've attached a screenshot.

Please help
 
No clue, I assume this is a Q for the software pros. A new one on me and FWIW I've had more than my fair share since its inception and can't recall ATM any existing files ever being corrupted, only the ones that caused the problem, so cautiously optimistic. 😉

That said, I have the latest update with 2888 records/~7 yrs worth on this computer, though just a fraction of the total if I were to load all of them from the beginning, so guess some of these could wreak havoc.

Felt to me like David's classy way of bowing-out (guess/hunch/no-info), but...

To the OP:
  • Backup your Hornresp.dat file before trying anything else if you haven't.
  • Go back a couple revs (use Wayback).
  • Sometimes errors happen when you leave it running forever and just hibernate. Exit & restart and see if it still happens.

Tried this, it still won't open my previous records. That error is popping up for specific recent records 😢
 
Do you know what version the recent records where created in? If they are boxplot records, maybe try Brian's thread. HR is trying to read entries that do not exist in that record. HR has been pretty backward-compatible with itself. "Corrupted" could be true, but you may be able to inspect enough of the (copy of) Hornresp.dat to see your entries and recreate the inputs. Absent-that, it will take someone more used to doing the sort of editing that David had good reason to discourage. If it is only the 6 records in your .dat file and they are not double-top-secret, maybe post it and maybe someone can poke-around to recover it. I would also try using the Editor to move the offending records (w/o opening them) between/to another test .dat file, etc.
