Hey everyone I am having a bit of an issue, When I go into the deck editor it throws out an error "5" invalid procedure call or argument. I am not really tech savvy when it comes to software does anyone know what could be wrong? Thank you for any help in advance

You tried both from main menu to select deck builder or directly to open deck.exe and they both failed? It seems to me you are trying to open the deckeditor.exe
that we may have left in the main folder (I am not at home to check if this is the case) which is a relic of old times that doesn't work.

Any text editor can open the .dck files that are in playdeck folder. Install one for instance Notepad++, then you can right click on the file and select to open it with the text editor.

Categorically false in every detail, except presumably the at-home part.

Is DeckEditor.exe for shandalar or what? If it is for shandalar it's of no use in Manalink.3.0 updates right? Anyway when I tried in a Manalink.3.0 older update to open DeckEditor.exe which I have access now I got a similar error with the one mentioned by blacklotus1993.

Now at home and yes DeckEditor.exe is still on release. I remember that it was made when we had the 2000 cards limit to swap cards to MagicCustom.exe although you made me wonder with your comment thus my previous comment if it is used by shandalar. Besides that it still may be used in some source files I don't know what is your disagreement about.

Thank you so much for all of the help everyone. I got into the decks with notepad from this point I can copy the text and tweak at will in the builder.
