Question

An attempt was made to access an unnamed file past it's end.

Has anyone else ever had this error (An attempt was made to access an unnamed file past it's end) when trying to open Mathcad?

It happened when Mathcad stopped responding, so I "end task"-ed it through the task manager. Then when I tried to re-open it I got this error and cannot open the calculations I was working on. When I click ok on this error message it asks me if I would like to cave or discard my changes. If I save them, the next time I open mathcad it opens no worries but the workspace is all blank.

I hope this can be fixed! Or I have lost days or work.

Thanks

Hayley

Your files opens without error for me (Mathcad 15 M020) but its empty. From the file size of your attach I would guees that there is no hidden information to search for.

So you have sent the file you saved after reopening. Maybe it helps if you send the version which throws the error on opening.

Hmm it seems that I have saved over the original Mathcad file so now all copies I have open but are blank (smart move hey).

Please upload your Mathcad worksheet with this issue.
