Ah. So you have the HTK installed?

Adaption is always a bit tricky and the support in Simon isn't that great to 
be honest. One thing that's missing, for example, is to ensure that the 
adaption set is sufficiently large for it to make sense to be used (where 
"sufficiently large" is really hard to judge programmatically), as adapting 
using a small data set usually produces fairly stupid models.
Still, that should never cause your model to not have a tiedlist (which is 
just copied from the base model).
Could you check if "base.sbm" (in the same directory as active.sbm) has it?
Just for the record: You didn't get an error dialog that said "Could not 
switch to new model.", right?

How many adaption samples did you record?

Btw, if you are just looking for the best possible recognition rate and are 
using a fairly small operating vocabulary (you probably will), I suggest you 
use either the un-adapted base model or a completely custom one (as gathering 
enough adaption data will mean that you could just as well create a model from 
scratch using that data that's usually better - again: for very limited 
domains). Then again, this all depends on your pronunciation, your microphone 
and, and, and - so YMMV.

Best regards,
Peter
