Multiple View Problem Workaround

In the first version of the December 18, 1997 update to the Viewer there is new multiple view functionality, but there also is a new wrinkle introduced.  The Viewer will pop up errors upon opening if there is not a view in the project titled "MassGIS Data Viewer".  If you delete or rename the original view (MassGIS Data Viewer) and save the project, you will encounter errors the next time you open the project, and when you try to create new views in that project.

The problem is easily fixed. You can get rid of those errors by creating a new view and naming it MassGIS Data Viewer, and saving the project.

This problem has been fixed in Viewers currently being distributed so you now are not required to have a view titled "MassGIS Data Viewer".
