Lahman Database problems...again

metsgeek · 02-18-2003, 12:40 AM

I downloaded the comma delineated 4.5 Lahman database, and <color=red>exactly</color> followed the instructions in the FAQ thread regarding creating a historical league.

Unfortunately, when I make any attempt to create a historical league, the message <color=red>"Could not create folder"</color> keeps popping up.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I'm following the suggested entries to the letter.

I wanted to start the league in 1962 and see if I could bring the Mets to glory even earlier than '69.

Please help.

That error means you named your league the same name as a league folder that already exists. Simply name your league something else or delete the folder in your OOTP4 directory that has the same name that you want to use. (*Note deleting the folder will delete the league and you will not be able to use it, also make sure the league you are deleting is not the current "quick start" league)
