What does "not well formed on line 3" mean?

Post by neoyorkina » Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:17 am

I spent all night last night working on a file, and then tried to open it today and it says "error opening: not well formed on line 3" and I can't get access to anything in the file. All the other files seem to open Ok..... Any ideas how I can get in there?

I ran into this last night and after playing around a little bit, I figured out the cause of the message. I opened up the .aup file in a text editor and on line 3 there were two special characters that were causing the entire issue; after removing them I was able to open the project as normal.

Thanks
