<<Please revert to a backup (*.FBK) file>> Ted, I haven't had this problem, but it is telling you to go back and open your backup file. Normally, this is in your main drive. You pull down the file by going to the upper left hand part of the main screen where it says File: When you pull this down and you will see "open a family file". That will give you a little box and in it, you will see a line that tells asks you to name the file, under that is a space to indicate the type of file it is. Pull that down to say *.FBK. That will provide you with a rather small number of files to open, all of them will have the FBK at the end and be indicated by a square with red and black in it. Double click the one you want to open. That will take you back to the full FTM. The biggest problem you may have with this is that if you have closed your program, a new FBK was formed at that time. You probably won't be able to get back to the original one. The thing to remember is that if you open your FTM, and it says you shut down your computer without closing it, is that you need to pull up the old backup file to work from, instead of the current one. When you do that you can loose some recent entries that you put in. I hope this helps. Bettye
