The ID badge software attempted to load an invalid badge file. This is caused by a corrupted badge template or database file and can only be rectified by recreating the corrupted item.
If you were opening a badge database when this error occurred the database must be recreated, see Creating a Database. If you were opening a badge template and got this error the template must be recreated, see Badge Template Design.
The most likely cause of this problem is an external change or corruption of the ID badge software file.
