Hi - I am getting this error message on screen when I go to the add sightings button. I have read your suggested solutions and carried them out but am still experiencing the same problem. The complete message is as follows:

                                               Run-time error '13':

                                               type mismatch

can someone advise what I am doing wrong.

thanks

I've occassionaly got the dreaded RTE 13 message. Following Jeff's instructions has always worked for me both when trying to add and also when trying to view/edit. It is important that all of the files that Jeff identified are deleted. I suggest reviewing them to be sure that you didn't miss any.

Hi James,

Has the problem cleared up yet? The instructions should work 100% of the time as Al has mentioned.

If you are still having the problem, please let me know.

Jeff

Got onto Jim's system and got him going. He had missed a couple from step 4.b above. Easy to do.

fyi

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 last fall, but just encountered the run-time error 13 problem. Having looked at the solution, I don't think it is something I want to attempt. Looks like I need your help, Jeff.

Thank you for getting me going again recently. Unfortunately, the keyword is recently because the run-time error '13' is back. I noted your hint that the bug is not present with v3.7. Honestly, I'm already in over my head. I have v3.6 Advanced and really only use the Add, Report and Checklist functions. I don't think I will ever edit a tax list or use almost any of the advanced functions.

If I upgrade to v3.7, I will likely need you to install it for me and the thought of spending another $80-100 to do what I want to do with the program is not appealing. Alternatively, I could learn to fix the run-time error, I guess. What do you suggest for me, obviously not a techie, but with 30 years of sightings that I don't want to lose?
