Error: "55/Memory file is invalid"

ANSWER ID:35375

This error is caused by a corrupt Backup.wtl file in the data folder for the Payroll file you have open at the time.

To fix this error you'll need to delete this file from the applicable Payroll data folder. Don't worry - this file will get recreated the next time you create a backup in Payroll.
