Can you please do me a huge favour and try to do a an open again. When you get the error can you please look in the directory that your have the Mobi2Mobi.exe or Mobi2Mobi.pl file and see if a file called mobidata.m2m has been created. Please post that file for me. Also could you please post the m2mcfg.ini file, this should be in the same path as the Mobi2Mobi_GUI.exe, and lucky last, what version of the Mobi2Mobi.exe or Perl file are you running.
Thanks for your help in trying to sort this out.

Hi, I'm just now getting back to this thread. Sorry for the delay. We're currently doing a lot of stuff relating to selling our house so I don't always get to check in here every day.
I'm still getting the error so let me first answer your questions in this post before moving on to the next and playing with the Debug build.
There is currently a mobidata.m2m file in that directory (C:\Util\Kindle Tools) but it's empty. I renamed it with a .bak extension and tried to open a file in Mobi2Mobi_GUI again. It recreated the mobidata.m2m file but it's still a blank 0 byte file. However, I'll attach my m2mcfg.ini file to this message, which is indeed in this directory as well.
Version numbers:
Mobi2mobi.exe - is there a way to find this without running a command line conversion? Typing mobi2mobi by itself on the command line doesn't yield a version number in the output, and the Version tab of the Properties dialog is completely blank.
I know I have used this tool successfully on the command line before but I don't recall if it will echo back the version number when I do. So let me know how else I can verify the version, or else maybe direct me to another copy to download that you know is the right version.
Perl - I have mobiperl-0.0.41 on my system in that same directory, but otherwise not a standalone perl installation. Hmmm... could that be part of the problem since there's a line in my m2mcfg.ini that says UsePerl=true?
Hmmm... the forum won't let me upload my m2mcfg.ini file (keeps saying invalid file even though I'm selecting it thru the browse interface) so I'll just copy it's contents below:
[Config]
MobiDir=C:\Util\Kindle Tools
UsePerl=true
UseWin32=false
WorkingDir=C:\Documents and Settings\Cherie\My Documents\My eBooks
Additionally, a search for perl on my system turns up perl56.dll and perl.exe in my Collectorz.com\Book Collector directory, and there's also an ActivePerl folder nested in my Temp directory with a perl58.dll. (I do clean out my Temp directory regularly and it was just cleaned yesterday as a matter of fact so I suspect that's being expanded there by something going on. *shrug*)
