Jim,

I'm running Ver 354 and am printing out the paperwork for an OP session on Wed. or Thurs.  One both my FST turn and Newberry turn when I report the train at the the turning point and try to print the new Switchlist I get a window titled "Yard Siding Appears Incorrect" with the Wording "Error found in train data or other data.  Suggestion Exit Operations, check data for this train and re-do lineup" .  I've never seen this before so I need some guidance.  Since the  problem occurs when I am reporting the train at the turning point I am not allowed to do a new Line-Up since the train is marked "mvg" 

thanks

Joe

Joe,

You can force a new line-up, by changing data for any train.  Use items on the right-side pane, on the train-edit window.   I just checked upstairs, and (if my memory is still correct) changing "speed" or "train-length" will work.

~~~

That error message has been there since 2001.   You have been very good at managing your data.

~~~

I have been pondering the need to have an explicit, easy-to-find button to cause a new line-up.  Any suggestions as to where that button should be placed?

Interesting, Jim and Joe.  I had not seen that message before, that I can remember.  But I did get it last night for a local run at Gresham. I made a note to check the train's data before we,start the next session. Best, Andy

The error message is generic, in that any error in the "OK" button routine will show that message.

The most likely error is that the train's yardsidings are out-of-date.

~~~

If Joe wanted to email his data that causes the error, that would help.   Thanks.

I introduced a bug on June 26th (related to transit times).  My apologies. This has been corrected and is part of this morning's Update 355.

If you downloaded an Update after June 26th you might wish to download/install today's Update.

Joe sent me his data and I was able to find the issue with his data (which is just fine).  Thanks Joe!  Odd that this did not turn up with the C&NE data.
