Hi @ pedrodrfaria,

 

i choose to open my own folder and it shown the error as below. Is it because i didnt choose the original destination (that i show you in the previous chat) or is because i dun have the latest alteryx.

@SH_94 

 

Your Alteryx is an older version than mine. 

 

Follow this guide to change the version of the WF outside of Alteryx.

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Adjusting-Alteryx-Files-for-Differe... 

 

Or let me know the exact version you are running.

 

2019.1? 2019.2? 2019.3? 2019.4?

May i know if we can update it to the latest without purchase it or pay extra?

 

Could you save the version to 2019.3?

If you see this question martk tool, it means that the macro was not in the same location as it was before, so then just delete it and add the macro again. The configuration for the macro is to select in the dropdown, "Full Path"
