Mastersdraft Software Problem - Importing Projections

New user of the software. I'm trying to import the projections into the software and I'm receiving the following error message:

An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down. The error message showed up after two players were shown as imported.

Thanks!

Can you please provide all the details.

What projections were you trying to import?

What is your OS?

This message is displayed when the format of the Excel spreadsheet that is attempted to be imported does not conform to the expected format.
To import Mastersball projections, open the projections spreadsheet, either Hitters or Pitchers and copy the entire content of hitters (or pitchers) tab into a new spreadsheet. Then import this newly created spreadsheet.
Likewise for CVRC created values, once the league characteristics have been entered, click on “Click here for Draft Software”. This will generate the values and place them in DraftSoftware tab. Copy the entire content of DraftSoftware tab into a new spreadsheet. Then import this newly created spreadsheet.

Thanks. That worked for the Hitters projections but I'm still receiving the same error message for the Pitchers.

I'm working on Windows OS 7

Again, I need you to be a lot more specific. In order to emulate the issue and find the problem, I need to know exactly what you are doing.

What spreadsheet are you importing?

Sure. I downloaded the latest Pitchers projections file from the platinum download area. Saved the file in excel 97-2003. As suggested, copied the data from each tab into a new file and saved that file in excel 97-2003. Opened up the MastersDraft.exe. Import projections using my newly created file and I received the same error message as noted above. As mentioned, I did have success with the Hitters projections file.

FWIW, if you did not use the CVRC, then MastersDraft comes preloaded with the projections you are trying to download.

Can you verify that they are already loaded?

If you have a customized format, then we would need to import those from the CVRC.

It did come pre-loaded. I just customized the CVRC files and imported those with no issues. Thanks for the help.
