I found the problem was not having the "CETEMPS" folder. Not sure why the folder was missing.  It is working now.

Hi John,

I get that error often enough to have some insight. Usually, I can fix it by closing the file and reopening it. (save a copy first though!). Sometimes, instead of this error, you might see that the system entries are all blank when you try to edit them. My suspicion is that the indexed inputs in TRACE lose their "alignment" and the file is reading from blank cells.

Thus, if close/reopen doesn't work, you should archive and unarchive. This will reset all of the parameters into the correct "index". An easy way to view this is like a spreadsheet: if a file begins referencing empty cells for some reason, certain fields will return blank answers or errors. Archiving and unarchiving effectively removes all of the unused "cells" and then the inputs tend to align.  


However, I can only recall one time where I needed to archive/unarchive - out of hundreds of times with that error. Usually close and reopen does just fine.

Best Regards All

	Does anybody know how to solve the "The parameter is incorrect." Error message? It appears anytime I click on Create System.
