Run-time error '55': File already open

[Guest dswo]

Running AS6.5. When trying to load archived weather for earlier today, I get "Run-time error '55': File already open." Then AS closes. Solution?

Hi David,That error code is from Visual Basic. Do you have anything else running at the time?Please let us know.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks, Jim. The apps I have open are: TrackIR, FastStone capture (for screenies), and of course Flight Simulator. Normal Windows services are on too. No other Visual Basic apps, and nothing I can think of that would be touching AS .dat files.Current weather loads fine -- it's just the archive I'm getting trouble from. Have reloaded AS several times and the same problem happens.

Hi,It's not the .dat file but a VB file that is attempting to be opened twice. Try this: reboot and start just AS and try things.Thanks, Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks, Jim, that did work, so nothing seems to be permanently broken.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. I just started AS (before loading FS, by the way) and tried to download today's weather for 1300 plus 1 hour after that. Same error, application closes.

Hi David,I tried doing all this and things worked fine. Next, I want you to try a uninstall/clean install of AS.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
