Do you know if you changed the Editor that is to be used to edit the program files?

If you did change this, then that is the problem - you need to change it to a program that is accessible to you.

If you do not know if you changed the editor, then we would like for you to change the editor to Notepad++, which we send along with Sierra Chart. To do this, follow these instructions:
- Select Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL.
- On the new window that opens select File >> Select Editor.
- Select the "Yes" button to move forward.
- On the next new window that opens select the button for Folder button.
- Go to the folder where your main Sierra Chart installation is located (typically C:\SierraChart).
- Then select the NPP folder that is showing under the main Sierra Chart folder and select the OK button to select that folder.
- You will see a program called Notepad++ show in the list of files. Double click on that that filename to select it and Open it.
- You will be back at the "Build Advanced Custom Studies" window. On this window select File >> Select Files.
- Select a file to open.

Let us know if the file opens properly in the Notepad++ application, or if you continue to have an error message and what the message states.
