Waldemar I have seen this problem before, it happens (to me at least) when the default template (for schematic) is not found. To solve just reset the template to a known good one, or remove altogether. (Design/Template/Remove)

Hello everybody out there. Here is an ONtopic question and I hope there is somebody left to read it and give me a advice for a solution ;-) For I did not find any Answer in the manual and the Knowledge base. I have got a Problem during creating and opening a new schematic. Let me discribe: A colleague of mine (in fact, my Boss) created a new DDB on his Machine and put one schematic in it. For he is in a hurry like every important person, he still is working on 99SE SP2 (!) He passed the DDB to me to add an other schematic and do the Layout job. Now, I added the missing symbols and footprints to our LIB, added the PCB outlines, (VME3u629, from Protel3.4 examples) and tried to add the needed schematic by clicking File|New|SchematicDocument. Worked fine so far. Now I try to open the new schematic, and got the Error mesage: "File format not recognized" after clicking the OK button it opened (!) and I got the message: "Access violation at adress 0D6C8179 in Module ADVSCH.DLL. Read of Adress FFFFFFFF" one more OK and one more of the same message and one more OK, it seams like I can work normally. But I am an fearfull guy and dont trust a design with three error mesages. Maybe there will come up one more? Or my design will be destroyed without any further message??? So I desided to ask the gurus among you. Did Anybody see this behavior before? Any experience with such problems? Me I am working on 99SE SP6 on M$ WIN98.
