problem with country.csv

[unmerged(17878)]

I edited colour for Poland in the Country.csv file by making it the same colour as Holland but when I try to start the game I get a "error in DB" message.
Whats the problem? I've only edited one line.

Reinstall will get you back your original files to play the game.
If you want to find out correct modification techniques you can enquire in the Modification/Editing forum.

Chances are that you didn't save it in the correct format if you're using a recent version of Excel. Microsoft loves to throw about 100 lines of hidden code into the headers of Office files which has the nasty side-effect of making them relatively unuable for other things...

Instructions await in the scenario & mods forum.

It was just as you said, excel screwed up the file. I was however able to edit it with wordpad after reinstalling the game (and backing up the file).

Yup you are safe with wordpad.
