Error opening window

[drobins6]

Hi,

I'm completely new to this and have absolutely NO experience with PowerBuilder. Unfortunately that didn't stop me being landed with a PB 5 application problem. The application was inherited and we have no PB developers!

So at the risk of sounding stupid ...

I am trying to open a .pbl file using the "Window" button in the toolbar. This allows me to select the file (one of many) and lists the windows within it. When I select one and click "OK", I get the following error:

"Open of window w_102 failed. Possible causes:
1 - Object does not exist.
2 - Its ancestor has been deleted.
3 - An object it references has been deleted.
4 - Object was created in newer version of PowerBuilder."

Am I doing something blatantly wrong here? How do I check if any of the above are true?

Thanks in advance.

Try to 'regenerate' all your objects in the library (you probably want to do this for the entire application). I haven't used version 5 in over 6 years so I can't tell you where the menu option is to do this (try the 'Help' files).
