I've re-installed HerdMaster on a new computer and now I get errors on startup, or

I've replaced my data file with a copy from a CDROM and now I get errors on startup, or

When I attempt to enter a new alpaca, or find an alpaca the page is blank.

           
  Symptom       
  On start-up HerdMaster produces various errors, when attempting to enter new data I get a blank page or a 'runtime' error occurs.
   
  Fix/Resolution       
 

Remove the 'Read Only' protection on your data file.

    1. Close HerdMaster
    2. In Windws Explorer navigate to your data file. How?.
    3. Right-click the file 'HmA3Data.mdb' and select Properties
    4. Clear the 'Read Only' tick box
    5. Select 'Apply', select 'OK'
       
  Background
  During copy operations - particularly if using CDROM - it is common for a 'Read Only' protection to be applied to copied files. If this protection is not subsequently removed the file cannot be used by HerdMaster.
