A tip for the future: go to FMP Help aand print out the section for the Status(CurrentError) function. This will list all/most of the error codes, so you'll be able to look them up. Generally they are pretty clear aand often quickly lead to the solution.

Similarly, include the error code in yourr post to the forum. I'm surprrised that nobody has asked you what the error was! Without that information, everything is guesswork.
