I cannot open a certain collection with Rade 7.0.4 because of a -49 error, with a note that it’s “in use elsewhere and cannot be opened. Another Helix application may be using it. (Error -49).” It isn’t, of course.

With Utility 7.0.4 I get a -39 error, with no further explanatory note.

Rebooting the (virtual) machine did not help. Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to proceed. Cheers,

Gib

I'm away from my computer and this is off the top of my head but isn't a -39 and end of file error? Do you have a utility for rebuilding the directory on the volume?

Gib,

I would start with restarting the computer.

If that didn't work I would open it in Rade (if you can). The I would run Utility and Compress it, Compress Object Map, etc.

Best to not panic until those are done...

I think it might be an EOF error, but what about the -49? I can't locate my error number list.

Hmmm…I used to use DiskWarrior, but I'm not sure how to do that under Parallels Desktop. Maybe Apple's Disk Utility? Cheers,

I'll try rebooting the real machine in the morning. Cheers,
