Teddy, Well done on the upgrade! I am sure you did nothing wrong - the installation will not have touched any paf database where your data is. What is more likely to have happened -- is that the newly installed software is looking at some default directory path to find a paf database and has come up with an old version located somewhere on your pc --- I am quite sure that your previous up-to-date database is still located somewhere on your pc. I would recommend the use of the Tools > Preferences > Folders option to specify the directory paths to be used for each type of file. And when creating paf database files to embed a date in the file name to identify when the file was last updated.

Thankfully as many of you suggested in my previous question I did back-up first and was able to restore. My question is what did I do wrong? Also I have not downloaded the new companion as I am afraid to. Will this cause a problem? thanks Teddy --------------------------------- Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
