I am running OT2014 Pro.

Up until this morning, all of my Pilot Scripts were working fine, but now none of them (including the supplied Nirvana ones) will start OT.

I call the StartOT() Function and the Pilot window logs StartOT. But OT doesn't start - the function must return as the script continues to run - then just reports many errors about the things it can't do because OT is not started.

Does StartOT return any codes that might give a clue - or is there any known reason why Pilot wouldn't start OT up?

many thanks

OK - after much work and reinstalling I have discovered something I really do not understand.

The scripts that don't work were copied to the OT2014/VBA/Omnipilot directory from a back up.

If I do a start OT from any of those files it does not work.

However, if I create a new file via pilot and run that it works fine!!!!

Thoughts?

Flush out the vba\temp file after copying the old version, then start OT

Think I am talking to myself here - but I have found a 'cause' in my copied files

For some reason

Sub OnStartup
'statements
end sub

was missing the brackets after OnStartUp

If I correct that to

Sub OnStartUp()
'statements
end sub

Then all works fine...........
