Please ignore mu plea - I have solved the problem.. Thank you in anticipation pandr From: Robert and Penny Cook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 December 2013 14:26 To: '[email protected]' Subject: Error in save Hello I have been using FH 4 since it was introduced and have just come across a problem I have not seen before. My main ged data file has disappeared and I have a .tmp file in its place. The change was preceded by an error message, when I attempted to save the file I was working on, which said something to the effect that it would not save owing to an error. Has anyone experienced this before and if so, what do I do to reload this tmp file and recover the data. I do have a back up, but it is about 5 days old, so recovery will save me some re-entry of data. Pandr This email and any attachments is intended for the named recipient only.
