OOTP Originator quetsion (need help - getting Run-time 62 error)

[Bear54]

I've been a long time lurker and never really had any problems with OOTP until now. I use the OOTP_Originator to create names for my league. I am going into my second season of my new league and now I am getting an error with the OOTP_Originator when trying to generate names. Here is the error I get;

Run-Time error '62':
Input past end of file


I use OOTP_Originator all the time and I have never encountered this problem. I have never had any error with it either. Everything is in it's right place and I exported the correct file. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

One of your files has a blank line at the end of the input file. Go to all the files and go to the very last record go down one line and hit the backspace to delete any extra characters. This usually happens if you cut and paste or add some extra cities in the locations file or if you add names to the names files....

Or you could have opened you player general file and somehow went past the last record, putting a blank line in the file. Open this in notepad, go to the last line and backspace to the last player line.

Those are the only things I can think of that would cause this problem.....

Only if you open it with excel. Open with notepad and you will have no issues. Also if you do open in Excel just click on the height column change the format to custom and enter M-D. This will allow the heights to go back to the correct format.
