Hi guys,

I am trying to create an executable program. The sav files works well but when I create the run-time version, the IDL Virtual Machine gives me the following error:
IDL Run-time error '-5'

Do you know what this error means?
Thank you in advance for your help,

Nata

Every time I've ever gotten an error like this, it means I've done
something dumb. ;^)

Cheers,
