Hi, I am hoping my file is not corrupted, but just a "linking" problem. I am using FH 5 on a laptop with Windows 7. I have the program set to "autosave" every 5 mins. When I highlight my project name in the project window and click on the "open project" button I get the following error: File not terminated correctly (no trailer record found.) The file does appear to open but in the records window, when I click on the "sources" tab it is completely blank. When I click on the "multimedia" tab and the "families" tab they are also blank. The "Individuals" tab does show all my individuals, however, none of the individuals are linked to any other i.e. no-one has a spouse or children - all links within the file and also to the media folder have disappeared. All my image files are still in the "media" folder within the project file. I tried the "work with external links" but it just says "no file linked." Is there any hope of resurrecting my project?
