When I try to convert it to Mathcad prime 9 I get an error message.

This means 1st and before all, you need to know the password that the regions are locked with.

Then you need (someone with acces to) Mathcad 14 or 15 to open the file, unlock all regions, and save the file.

After that you can convert it.

Success!

Hi Sam

I can only suggest you post a reply in the original post - this will trigger an email to the poster.

Ask very politely if the poster is willing to share the full contents of this fantastic worksheet.

Cheers

In addition to what everyone else has said, if you upgrade to Mathcad Prime 11, you'll be able to convert areas with locked collapsed areas.

(You still won't be able to open the areas without knowing their passwords, but at least the worksheet won't fail conversion.)

Hi Sam,

I did post this for your original query, but was instructed by a moderator to post under your heading..

I have no problem in providing the password and in fact it is shown at the top of the file, although not indicated as the password = MJN

You will find it very laborious to convert the file (I know since I started months ago and and its still an ongoing project). Even if you manage it, Mathcad Prime is carp and doesn't allow many things Mathcad 15 does, for example. to reduce program lengths, Mathcad 15 allows a few lines to be consolidated to a single line using comma separators (there are many of these instances). There are many other differences too. I have used many dropdown menus to make using the program more user friendly, which, unfortunately will all have to be rewritten in Jscript.

If you want to keep trying, it will take you a very very long time an a lot of patience.

I suggest you visit Eng-tips which may help.:

Good Luck......You will certainly need it if you want to continue using Prime.
