Hi Leo & All,
I'm having a similar problem, and I'm using v15.01.01 on XP Pro. Here's what
happens to me:
If I double click a file in windows explorer, sometimes I get an empty SPSS
data editor with a file-not-found error message, and sometimes I just get an
empty SPSS window. In either case, I have to double click the file name a
second time to open it. Also, I get the error message if I start SPSS by
double clicking the icon on my desktop and picking a file name from the
recently used list.
As for a solution, honestly, I usually just ignore the problem, acknowledge
the error message and double clicking twice in explorer. However, I have
noticed that if I have SPSS up and running, I can click whatever I want and
it opens without any problems. So that might provide a clue to a work around
for you. Try opening SPSS first, then open your file in the way that's most
convenient for you.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Lisa
