Files Errors

File errors can occur when:

·       A file cannot be located on the user's computer.

·       A file being used has the wrong format.

·       A file being written cannot be opened because the user does not have write privileges for the directory (folder) where the file is to be stored.

SWMM needs to have write privileges for a directory (folder) where temporary files are stored during a run. The original default is the directory where Windows writes its temporary files. If this directory does not exist or the user does not have write privileges to it, then a new directory must be assigned by using the Program Preferences dialog.
