I wonder if some of the problems people get from not using their latest PAF file is caused by using "save as" to make a backup on another media, e.g. flash drive. Then, next time PAF is used, it automatically opens the last file saved, which would be on the flash drive instead of the hard drive ("C") - except that 1) there may be a different flash drive with an earlier saved data file; or 2) the updates may have been made to the flash drive file, but not to the "C" drive file, and new data must be manually saved via "save as" to the "C" drive The solution - don't depend on the automatically opened file to be the latest, but instead each time compare file names to select the latest saved file; making sure it's on the "C" drive Rod **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
