Paul, in response to your response. Please remember that Vista didn't
eliminate the crashing problem, it just reduced it. Also, I got a new
computer when I went to Vista, and it's possible the bug was a hidden "dll"
or other file in my old computer, which Nanda Srinivasan had said might be
the cause of my troubles.

Also, be prepared as you go to Vista, because if you also go to Office 2007,
it takes some learning. A year and a half down the road, I think the new
versions of Excel and Access are a little more efficient once you learn
them, but they're quite a bit different and will slow you down for the first
2-3 months. The new pivot table system in Excel is more fun and easier to
use - once you learn it! At least that was my experience.

Jonathan

Thanks for the update Jonathan,

We are still using Windows XP and have the same problem with the CTPP
browser always crashing when creating a new file. It's good to know that
this problem appears to not exist with Vista.

I got Windows Vista a year or two and - to my surprise - have had fewer
problems than before. In fact, the CTPP browser's performance has gotten
better. With Windows 2000, the browser would always crash when
generating a
new file. I could still use it, because I could re-open the browser, and
the
newly generated file would appear as if nothing had gone wrong. With
Windows
Vista, the crashes have dropped from 100% of the time to about 30%, so
it's
an improvement.

Don't ask me what this means - I don't know. Just wanted to share my
experiences with the group.

Ed:

Has anyone tried to load the CTPP 2000 Browser on a Windows Vista

machine?  I just got wind that it might not work.

I want to remind you that TransCAD users have ready access to the 2000
CTPP
data. TransCAD provides Table Choosers for Parts 1 and 2, and a Matrix
Chooser for Part 3. The data for Parts 1 and 2 are available for
download
from the TransCAD User Center, and the data for Part 3 can be requested
from TransCAD Tech Support.

If you have 1990 CTPP Data CDs, TransCAD has a utility for opening Part
A,
B and C tables from the Statewide Element and Part 1, 2 and 3 tables
from
the Urban Element.

There are also TransCAD Table Choosers for ACS data. We are building the

Table Chooser for the 2008 ACS 1-year data that were released yesterday
and
will do the same for the 3-year data that will be released next month.
