Newbie needs help please

[Altera_Forum]

I was trying to simulate my design. It compiled fine and I actually downloaded to the DE2-115 board and it worked as expected. When I try to simulate the design I keep getting this message. The problem seems to be in the error message at the bottom but I can not figure out what to do. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

It's saying you're missing your .vwf file.

So I need a vht file?

--- Quote Start ---  So I need a vht file?  --- Quote End ---    I don't know, you tell me. You supplied a testbench filename in the --test_bench argument ...  My point was that the full pathname to the .vht file is different from that to your .vwf file.  Maybe that is ok, maybe not. I was just pointing that out as something to look at as it may be an issue as to why one file is flagged as 'missing'.
