Thanks Fred and Tomasz, Here is the last email I received from Fred regarding troubleshooting (from back in May) --
"You got a lot of different stuff below however 1. There is no installation or reinstallation process to BatMan It's a program that runs pure and simple it either runs or it doesn't it is highly unlikely that getting a fresh copy from some place it is loaded will solve anything The same is true of IO I doubt if reinstalling AB will do anything for you either 2. The Settings Portfolio tab entry that wants a number between 1 and 1000 is Max Open Positions BatMan does not muck with settings directly, it only allows you to load settings files per se. As far as the error at line 2112 is concerned This is usually indicative of an AFL that produces no results BatMan is of course supposed to be run with production systems i.e. ones that you have checked that produce results in AB / AA. The system that it is having trouble with is the second one in the batch i.e. this one - > DAILY1 - 2 SECTOR EXPLORE What is happening is that has read past end of file without finding what is usually there as a header line. ~Fred " I stopped troubleshooting at this point because all the jobs had worked previously, on their own. When I began screwing with setting Batman up with different periodicity setting files -- that's when the AB and Batman bugs kicked in. I have no idea what caused it. It looks like I will need to edit my registry, and try again. If it still doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to try. Hey, at least all of this was documented, in case someone else runs into the same issue.
