Opened up Designer this morning to continue working on a project and this happened when trying to open the window. Have no idea how to fix it since the window will not open.

This is a bug that’s fixed in 7.9.11. The easiest fix would be to download the RC for 7.9.11, open the window, then fix the binding - although you’ll then have to manually tweak the window export .xml file to remove the version string.

Or, even easier - just contact support and someone should be able to send you a window that works in 7.9.

Thank you for the reply. We are currently on 7.9.10 so I need to update. As far as XML the file looks like alphabet soup to me. Luckily it isn’t a big lose. more me just experimenting.
