<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thanks, Brian. Please let us
know if this works for you, Craig. If it doesn't I would take a look at the
.pd2 file. That is maybe where something went wrong.<br>
Regards,<br>
Carol<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I would suggest trying the following:<br>
<br>
- start with a new, blank project file. To do this, start a new project,<br>
select a wizard (either SD or DD) then hit the red "x" instead of
finish.<br>
That should put you in the detailed interface with a blank project.<br>
<br>
- now simply "file import" one of the .inp files.<br>
<br>
You will lose all the info in the .pd2 which is the original wizard data,<br>
the CAD file link and the weather file setting (so you will need to<br>
reselect the weather file). However, all of your detailed interface data<br>
should be there.<br>
<br>
Your parametric run data is in a .prd text file so once your new file is<br>
saved, you may be able to copy & rename the .prd to the new "project
file<br>
anme".prd and recover your parametric run info as well.<br>
<br>
This has saved me quite a few times.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
