ACT will not load

[daniellouwrens]

Hi

I am trying to run an Act for ConrailIndy 2 Route but it will not load.

I have attached the Actman report run without the OR box checked, the TRK file
and the act file.

The ACTMAN report says that the names of the route differ betwwen the TRK file and
the Act file.

There are several acts supplied with the route but none of them load.

I have used what little knowledge I have to determine where the discrepancy lies
but cannot find any, probably I can't see the forest for the trees.

I would appreciate it if someone would have a look at the situation and let me know
what the problem is.

There is no log file as the route did not start loading.

Regards

Try this:

You have RouteID ( ConrailIndy 2 ) in trk file --- add quotes to read RouteID ( "ConrailIndy 2" )

Hi Daniel,

Looking through all of the other route names, none of them have spaces.
And given one of the errors mentions conrailindy not conrailindy 2, I suspect that the space needs to come out.
I am trying it now.

Gerry got it in one.

I dunno Derek, my Conrail Indy trk file begins like this ( looking at Route ID line )

Tr_RouteFile (
	RouteID ( "ConrailIndy 2" )
	Name ( "Conrail Indianapolis Line 2.0" )
	Description ( "Conrail's ex-New York Central "Bee Line" between Avon, Indiana and Marion, Ohio as it appeared circa 1994.  This line formed a vital link between the Northeast and Western connections.  A substantial amount of traffic also originated in Indianapolis and moved east.  This line is now part of CSX's Great Lakes Division as a result of the 1999 takeover of Conrail.\n\n"+
		 "Principal traffic: Auto parts, finished vehicles, plastics, chemicals, grain, corn syrup, steel. Also some intermodal traffic.\n\n"+

Either way - everything has to match Route ID in trk file so Route ID ( ConrailIndy2 ) should work fine, as long as ALL the the activity files also use the same.

Daniel,

What is the date on your tdb file?

Hi Gerry,

thanks for your help, you were 99% correct, I put the quotation marks into the Trk file but it made no difference,
then I tried putting underscores into the route ID sections on both ACT and Trk files and removing the Quotation marks
and all is now 100%.
I'm not sure if removing the Quotation marks was necessary but dinner is on the table so I will leave
it alone

Excellent help.

Thanks again.

Regards

Daniel
