CAN'T LOAD SOME RETURNS

[rick in cal]

I have a problem importing some files and they all seem to contain unique forms. Each time I download a return that contains forms from a partnership the entire 2007 program shuts down. I've tried upgrading, restarting the program and turning off the computer. This is not a major problem yet because it is not on my main computer. It is on a computer where my daughter makes entries and gives them to me on a zip drive. Since our tech support is virtually non-existant I was hoping someone has already solved this type of problem. Thanks

I've had a similar problem. I am using Office 1040 and PRS for other forms. I downloaded the forms first from the return manager (PRS forms) and then opened the return and clicked on new forms to add them.

Thanks Mel but I don't think that's the problem and I am scanning my computer for a virus and procede from there. Mel I remember you from years past when ATX was a small independent and very functional software company.

I don't know if this will affect your situation, but my latest update had quite a few forms, it took longer than usual, and there was a program restart with a slower than normal restart. The latest version is 2007.3.40 according to my system.

Thank you all. It's a work in progress. I restarted my pc after updating and it helped . My AVG detected a trojan virus and I'm defragmenting. In between all of these things I'm doing I was able to open the files I couldn't before but now another one is acting up. I'm working on it. Thanks to all!

I believe the solution can be found on the ATX knowledge base....I had a related problem last week, and I had to go find the return in the main ATX folder and delete the corrupted form from the return there. In my experience, perfectly good spreadsheets are often "corrupted forms."
