From your description it sounds as though you have changed where WinBMD is saving its files. Look on the Files menu and you'll see an item called "Define Save Path" and next to this in brackets you'll see where files are being saved - if this is anything other than where you are opening the files from then this is your problem. Try clicking this menu item and navigating back to the default folder (C:\Program Files\WinBMD\Output\) and see if that helps. If before doing that you look in the folder in brackets you should find your correct file in there and you can move it back to the Output folder.

Yesterday I opened up 1883M3-J0757 to find that only the 1st part of the page was saved, so I went on to finish the following 2 columns, entered +PAGE,0758 at the end, saved batch & exited. When I went to do a Verify today, only the first part was visible again, the other 2 columns had disappeared again! I understand that 1883M3-J0756 had unfortunately been overwritten with info from 0757, but exactly the same thing with 0756, 1st column there, the other 2 not. Also the header on the top left hand corner is incorrect & can't be altered. Any advice on this one please? Thanks Louise ==== FreeBMD-Admins Mailing List ==== Want to help FreeBMD?
