First I would like to preface with this is my first time using this program and could use some help.

I installed version 3.6 onto my computer. I am trying to open an old project file that someone made years ago. When I try to open the .pd2 file I get the following error message:

Error Reading File
Line Number: 34
Column Number: 16
File Format Error

I am sorry if this is a total newb question and thanks for the help.

Derek,
If you open the .PD2 file with a text editor you will see the eQuest version that was used to create the file. You will likely have to roll back to that version to use the file. Alternately, you can re-creating the project with 3.6 by opening the .INP file.
