Trouble with creating Historical League

RainedOut · 09-17-2002, 12:59 PM

I'm having trouble creating an historical league with the Lahman database. When I attempt to create an historical league, I get a message that says: "could not create folder."

I've got version 4.1 of OOTP4 and version 4.5 of the Lahman database (comma delimited, not the access version).

the Lahman DB is unzipped in the default c:\stats folder

I read through the previous posts by people who've had trouble with the DB, and have yet to come across any trouble that resembles mine. If anyone has any ideas on what the trouble is, or whether i've omitted a simple step, any and all advice would be appreciated.

What name have you tried to give to the league? What are the names of the other league folders in the OOTP4 directory? If you try to repeat a league name, then you can get this error message.

You know, I would never have seen that field if you hadnt said that. I simply looked right across the top of the page, saw "create historical league" and clicked on it, totally unaware that there was a field further down the screen with a default name for the league.

Thank you very much.
