This sounds like .rec file problem to me. (search your "Documents and
Settings" folder for *.rec to find where they are) Is the file set to
'Resume' where it left off? Try running the file then delete the .rec file
and then run the file again. If it runs the second time without error, then
run a third time but leave the .rec file in place. If it errors when the
..rec file is there then the .rec file isn't be re-loaded properly. Run
through all your variables and make sure you have the right variable initial
types for your variables. In almost every case the system will take care of
variable types changing as necessary. But I have noted some problems with
list types. If it starts as a number and then gets changed to a list it may
cause a problem like this.
