Thanks for the help blueturf

There aren't too many people who can help with stuff like this, so I am REALLY appreciative. If I could buy you a beer I would!
I did as you suggested and indeed found an empty line at the end of the players_general document. I went to the last character that was present and deleted anything after it (which was an empty line/ space), closed it, and then ran the Originator, but am still getting the same error message.
Could it be something else? Do I have to do anything to the DAT files that are in that league's folder, such as Coaches, league, messages, draft, etc.?
Does the time that you use the Originator matter? I created a league, set up the divisions, named the teams, etc. but have not yet had the initial draft. Do the players need to be on teams for this to work, or is it ok that they are just in draft/ free agent limbo for now?
EDIT: Thank you for the offer to look at my file. I'm trying to attach the file, but I am getting a message saying it is an invalid file. It is only an 89K Excel sheet. What do I need to change to get this attached?
