Thanks. I will see if moving all of my hero files to an external drive might clear it up. I am sure there is a much more sophisticated way to accomplish this but I am keeping it as simple as I can. If for some reason I can't get that to work I might ask if you have something more advanced to try. I appreciate all of your time and attention. Been doing HERO since 1983 and never regretted it. You affirm what I like about our community. Have a great weekend.

moving it to my downloads did let me access it. it looks like I managed to set my computer up to automactially transfer files on my MacBook Pro to my dropbox... do you think that it where the problem might be? Thanks

Here you go. Rift Heroes Basic Character Classes.hdc

OK, I think I did this right. found a trace.log... it is long, but I guess you know that. I am minimally tech competent so I hope this is right, and thanks for your help, Simon. Oh, I don't know what you mean by the second point. "directory with full read/write access..." thanks again.

Hi, I am recently having trouble accessing or loading HDP files and many of the older HDC files (viper, UNTIL, Star Hero etc) I get 3 different error messages. 1st Error occurred retrieving the template used for the saved character. using"Standard Super" template Error message: Error on line one of document file 2nd An error occurred loading the character. Data loss may occur if you save. Error message: Error on line one of document file 3rd [Red Stop sigh image] An error occurred loading the character. Data loss may occur if you save. Please restart Hero Designer and try again. Any help understanding what is going on would be appreciated.
