When I try to open a 17 MB CDR file, A.R.M. comes up and Corel crashes. I can open other CDR files fine.
WHen the ARM wizard finishes, I get this message:
---------------------------CorelDRAW X3: CorelDRW.exe - Application Error---------------------------The instruction at "0x0065007d" referenced memory at "0x0027f8aa". The memory could not be "written".
Click on OK to terminate the program---------------------------OK ---------------------------
I would be very grateful for any assistance as this is a very important file (I can't open the Backup file either).
Thanks,
Garret

worked... phew! Good to know...
Importing sometimes works when a file cannot open.
Or, if the file is not confidential, you could upload it somewhere and post a link so others can try it.
I just tried Importing but I get the same error for this particular file.
I've uploaded it here https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22430112/figures.cdr
The first thing to do is make a copy of the file using File Manager (Windows Explorer) and work on the copy... not the original.
Do this as a matter of best practices when working with any critical file you would never want to have to recreate from scratch.
