Dear Listers, I had to recover my computer on sunday night. The person who did this saved all of our important 'stuff' to a CD. This was a direct move of the information from our Family Origins 4.0 programme (amongst others) to the D drive (CD). When we recovered we attempted to put our FO 4.0 into the computer and we got a 'Codebase Error'. I did not panic as my dad runs the same programme. But alas when I tried to import the data to his programme I again got a 'codebase error: 60'. It appears that the direct movement of data now cannot be read by the computer. It was not stored as a gedcom or as a backup. I have older backups I can use, the most recent is May 2001, but we are missing almost 1000 names between that file and the one we have lost. I would appreciate any help or suggestions in how to retrieve the data from the CD. I wait hopefully...with thanks Elizabeth Marshall libby@emunet.com.au
