cato problem

[Sebastian Palkowski]

Hi,

I have a problem with the Cato utility. I have the newest version (6.1.4) and the first year (2001) is no problem. But when I start the 2002 season it comes an error that some team abbreviations are new and I get a list with all 30 teams. But all are the same as in the first season. After that it continues but will not work through all the players, it just complete the import. Then I go to the Allstar screen but there are no player to choose from.

Thanks in advance!

regards
palli

I have more details:

I get an error when using your utillity (I use it a long time, so I normaly know what to do). I´m using 6.1.4 and the first year is no problem at all (2001) but the second one (2002) is. The error is:

"Invalid procedure call or argument" and it comes when it works on "Importing Data ... Reading ltrans file ...".
After that it comes the error:

"The following team abbreviations are new from last year (...)" and then I can check them (they did not change in the game!).

After that it starts to "Update Fields" but I get the last error:

"Run time error '-2147467259 (80004005)"

Any help would be great, we are now in our 7th season and your tool is one of the highlights!

CatoBase ltrans type mismatch SOLVED....possible OOTP bug?

Actually, I found this to work:

After all that, I found that I could just move the ltrans and lnews text files out of the league_news_box folder, put the lnews and ltrans html files into the data folder and then when done importing I put the text files back into the league_news_box folder. Ohhh, and don't remove the text files before generating the html files, or you'll wind up with blank html files.

I found it in this thread:
