I'd have to agree that it is likely going to be permissions. While I do not have UV on Windows on AIX if I create a record in a type 1 file and then change the ownership to something that I cannot read I get the following: >ED PCTMP EDTEST Program "ED": pc = 6952, Fatal error has occured. [~] $
>CT PCTMP EDTEST Program "COPYP": pc = 1A46, Fatal error has occured. [~] $ Perhaps the error you're getting is a windows equivalent of the above or something? The permissions on my file during this test were: [PCTMP] $ ls -l EDTEST -rw------- 1 root other 56 May 07 08:03 EDTEST [PCTMP] $ So I'd be looking at the permissions of the parent folder as well as its contents.

If it was UNIX, then I'd say the owner/user for the records(files) was deleted from the system and then editing them assigns a new, valid, owner. You said you're on windows, though.

IF I open one of these in notepad, and just add an extra char to the end and then file it, the "last modified date" now appears for that file, but none of the other ones of course. And doing that, makes it so, in TCL, I can now EDit that particular record, but none of the other records, which still cause the fatal abort. So that's odd. But at least, I can go through and edit every single bleeping entry in the directory, file it, and make it editable again in Universe. WHY this has occurred, and WHETHER it's going to continue with new entries, is still an open question.... -----Original Message----- From: Bill Haskett <wphask...@advantos.net> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Tue, May 6, 2014 11:30 am Subject: Re: [U2] [Universe] [Windows] Can you open the ".csv" file (the Windows File item within the Windows Directory) with a text editor? Does it look like text? Is there a sub-directory within this directory? Are the permissions of this ".csv" file the same as the rest of the items within the directory? You're not getting that stupid "desktop.ini" item within the directory, are you? Just a few thoughts.
