Description
Ok this one is kind of my fault, but still crashes the system...
If I am in a screen of Ecosim, and I try to load a scenario, I get this error message, and I have to shut down the program. Plus after I shut down the program my word document (still on the screen) flashes for a few seconds. I dont know I just thought it was funny. OS I guess you cannot access a new scenario of ecosim while any of the ecosim tabs are open.
Unable to duplicate on same model that Carie used? Let's keep an eye on this.

The problem here is that the scenario somehow fails to save. I am not sure why this is happening; I will need to see your database to be sure. I cannot reproduce this error on a newly imported model, and I can create a new Ecosim scenario with any number of windows open.

This is actually fixed for the most part (on its own). I can now create a new scenario while I already have one loaded. The only problem I have with this is that whatever screen I have open at the moment, will not reflect the changes automatically. I have to switch to another screen and when I come back it shows the new scenario
For example: I was using the forcing function tab when I loaded a new scenario, so I opened the biomass tab, ran the model, and then went back to the FF tab, which was now re-set. Also when I went to the biomass tab, the model flatlined (good as it was a blank scenario) so it reset itself here too.

My idea of why this is happening...
If I try to create a new scenario while I am still in one, I get a pop-up message that asks if I want to save the first scenario. If I click yes, then it fails to save (or so the status bar says). I think this is going to be a problem with the program. It should be mentioned to the user that they need to exit all ecosim tabs before starting a new scenario, OR the program needs to recognize that if the user wants to create/ load a new scenario while already in ecosim, then they should be alerted/ warned to shut down all ecosim screens unless they can be automatically shut down for you (close all ecosim screens before starting a new scenario).
