1744.0. "Fileview record format error." by WILKIE::MAY () Wed Nov 15 1989 13:54

    		I get the following error box when I open a 
    	fileview window:
    			There was an error opening your profile file.
    				Invalid record format.
    		I also get this message when I try to do anything
    	with an individual file. I am running VMS 5.1 on a 
    	Vaxstation 2000. Can anyone help me out?
    	I looked through the fileview keyword notes and searched
    	by various keywords but haven't seen this particular error
    	yet. 
    		One more thing, if I open a terminal window I have
    	no problem.

1744.1Corrupt (?) .VUE$DAT fileDECWIN::KLEINWed Nov 15 1989 13:584
There must be something wrong with your DECWUSER_DEFAULTS:VUE$PROFILE.VUE$DAT
file or with one of the VUE$LIBRARY:*.VUE$DAT files.  Poke around.

    		Thanks Steve,
    		I deleted my old VUE$PROFILE.VUE$DAT and let FILEVIEW
    	create another one the way it wants. I had just transfered my
    	files from an equivalent decwindow V5.1 system and this was
    	the only problem I hit. I believe it may have been caused by
    	the fact my previous system was LAVC and my current one is 
    	RSM standalone. Anyway it worked.
    						Thanks Again,
    						Mark
