How timely. I had over 8,700 names in my data base and this dang computer just wiped out 4,000. Very discouraging. I had no backup. I do still have the main branch but, lost almost all the others. I am still searching and adding but, when I do, it deletes something so, I am keeping hand written notes until I figure out how to transfer my files to a CD. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on or how to correct it? Is the hard drive full?
