Val4 Error Question

A Val4 user wrote:

Ted, I know you said you are not supporting Val4 but downloaded 3 current race files last weekend and got error messages with all 3. Here is a screen of what I see:

Strange part is that when I ran same file with ValT the file worked without any problem. Would a fresh install of the program possibly solve the issue?
Delete or rename the existing VAL4 folder and reinstall Val4 from the install package and the problem will disappear (the 'brute force' solution). The problem lies either in not being able to open the RACEDR.DBF file (perhaps because you have it open in another copy of Val4?), or perhaps it got corrupted somehow.

Try to remove all files related to the card in question, then open that card anew. For example, for a card of races which you were working with and had problems, say PHA0502: in the VAL4 folder, delete PHA0502H.DBF, PHA0502R.DBF and PHA0502P.DBF (the working files for that card). Also clean out the TrackMaster DBF files extracted from the TrackMaster data file (e.g. RACEDR.DBF and all THR*.DBF files, for good measure). Try this first and see if the problem goes away.

VALT must be installed on a different folder and thus must not be running into the same problem files which VAL4 is running into.

Hope this helps!

Ted
