Gene Try filling in the first open page of the new FT file and then close it. Then see what happens when you open it up again. If the new page comes up with the data you posted then go to the top of the page click file, then open, then hope you have more...... I know it is frustrating, but give the list a chance to reply, I think most of the list use "D" which means they get one posting each day with all the single posting for the day included.
