Can't Load Old Schematic

I have a schematic I did 2 years ago and now want to edit, but when I try to load it I get this error message: line 16474, column 66: redefinition of name 'SUPPLY1' in tag <part>. How can I fix this (or bypass it)?

Thanks,

Greg

Opening my mouth where I might not know what I'm talking about, but here goes anyway!

If you open that file with a text editor, do you find "SUPPLY1" listed twice in that part? It may be as easy as using your editor to change that name, or delete the extra definition line.

Make a backup first...

Doug, I actually tried that right after I posted the question. In the first attempt it just went to another error involving the same signal, so I deleted that line also. The schematic now loads and looks correct, but I'm sure there are missing connections. A better 'hack' at this might be to change the signal name on these 2 lines to some new, unique name. I haven't tried that yet.

The 2nd error message is: <instance part="SUPPLY1" gate="GND" x="332.74" y="172.72"/>. Note that this has coordinates in it, which I presume would indicate where the particular connection to this signal occurs, but what coordinate system is it? I can only set the grid to 'normal' units such as inches or millimeters.
