Hi ,

My workflow is corrupted and I am not able to open. It says "The Tool ID 19 is not the document" . I tried to auto recover also and I was not able to recover this file. I had spent considerable time in developing this workflow and now I am lost and would have to re do. Could someone please help , in editing the XML and fixing this issue. thanks in advance.

Thanks you for the great help. Deleting the tag worked, own I am able to open the workflow.
