<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Fred,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">May not be the case but sometimes it
happens when I move files from one folder to the other. Some components
that are linked to external data files may try to look to wrong paths.
This is the case of the type 534 (storage tank) or even the weather file.
I suggest taking a look at the other components in your simulation and
checking the "External files" tab, looking for the content in
the files. Some times the path is even correct but may be a blank file.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Not sure if it is your case but hope
it helps</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#000080 face="Arial">Maybe it is not the weather
file. I have already had problems with types that read from external files.
When I wanted to run the simulation suddenly the external file was empty.
(and I think I got the same error) Check the logical unit number in the
error message to find out which file it could be.</font>
