Looks like some problem converting data from the old version to the
new - but I'm not sure under what conditions this happens.

There are two options

-----------------
1. go back to the previous version and wait while I try to figure a
way around this. You need to go back to the previous version of
ratshopper.exe - if you did not make a backup - then delete
ratshopper.exe and download again [if you need to]
ratshopper_2_10_full.zip - run the install and make sure to specify
repair.
--------------
2.
delete hs2list.tps - this will delete the current copy of the database
you were editing and if you had not exported to the PDA, then you lose
the last changes - but most likely it's ok

delete units.tps - this deletes a control file that specifies the
units values you have on your Palm for inputting to HandyShopper -

Run ratshopper it should work ok

There are normally only 4 lines in this units.tps file - you will have
to manually reenter data to match your PDA using 'Browse Units
Defaults'

Normally the values are
gals
lbs
ozs
pts

Sorry for the inconvenience
