programme not working

[David McFarlane]

I just fixed a similar problem here this week, 
though there's no telling if this will apply to 
you.  In our case, the error message complained 
about "Image 3", which made no sense.  So I 
looked in the List with the file names.  The file 
name column was not wide enough to show the full 
file names, so I made that column wider, and 
voilà -- I saw " ?" at the end of the first file 
name.  Once we corrected that, all worked well.

So, make triply sure that *all* the file names in 
your List are what you think they are.  Look out 
especially for trailing spaces -- e.g., 
"Image1.bmp " is not the same as "Image1.bmp".

<editorial>
When I tried to recreate this error using 
good-old EP1.2, I found that EP1.2 produced a 
*much* more informative error message, detailing 
exactly what file name was causing the 
trouble.  Once again illustrating the maxim, "In 
this modern world, 'progress' often means 'regress'".
