Hello:

I've also seen the same error occur when there are no statement specs available (I can't remember the exact circumstances). I'd suggest there should be a check made that the spec file actually exists before lauching the process in order to prevent the error message later.

Hi Bruce,

In the normal operation of Adagio, there should never be a time where there are NO specification files available.

If we checked for every circumstance that might occur with people moving files around using explorer, Adagio modules would never manage to launch!

Hello Andrew:

Rather than checking on start-up (because speed is an issue there), 2 checks could be performed each time a user clicks Print/Preview on a specification-type screen:

1) Has a specification been selected (ie. selection box is not blank)?
2) Does spec file exist?

In the world of "essential" versus "merely-nice-to-have", this is definitely closer to the latter, but it would be fast enough to be imperceptible to the user and would prevent error messages.
