Trouble advancing calendar in offseason

Having some trouble moving the system through the offseason.

During the 2006 season, I ran into a problem wherein the schedule could not be advanced past April 23. When I installed the 1.0.2 patch, that problem appeared to be solved. (See thread at http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=126738.)

After the World Series concluded in my league, I began to see an problem - the offseason wasn't moving according to schedule.

For example, right now the league date is December 23, 2006. The upcoming events are:

12/24/2006: Playoffs are over, the Offseason starts
1/3/2007: Gold Glove winners are announced
1/4/2007: Rookie of the Year winners are announced
1/5/2007: Cy Young
1/6/2007: MVP
1/13/2007: Salary Arbitration
1/16/2007: Free Agency
2/5/2007: Winter meetings start
2/9/2007: Winter meetings ends
4/12/2007: Preseason begins
5/12/2007: Spring Training begins
6/11/2007: Regular Season begins

That last one is then repeated (in the "Auto-Play" section) about 15 times.

These are clearly incorrect.

When I click the Continue button, one of three things happens:

1. The schedule advances to the next day (that is, the calendar changes).
2. Two (one after the other) popup error boxes appear: "CALENDAR_DATE::get_age - invalid date" [I click OK for these; nothing else I can see to do...]
3. The system crashes (OOTP2006.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close).

No matter which of these happens, though, the schedule of upcoming events changes, somehow. That is, the dates on which the events are to occur changes, and not all by the same number of days (one may change four days and another by two, etc.).

I thought maybe if I began a brand-new league and imported the 2006 league into it, that would work; but in OOTP 2006 you can import only files from OOTP 6 or 6.5.

So I'm hoping someone here can help, although I admit I'm a bit pessimistic, since I had a similar problem earlier this year. I have a lot invested in this league, so I'd love to be able to save it..

Thanks in advance!
