Hi Everyone: I have been a major TMG user since version 5.0 and have only recently had the following problem.  This happened once a few months ago and I successfully restored from my prior BU and only lost a couple of hours work.  I considered it a "one off" but it has just happened again so I am hoping that someone can tell me what I might be doing wrong or how I can avoid the problem in the future. Running TMG 9.05 under Windows 7 Home Premium Sequence of events: Time for dinner so I started into my BU/Close process: Optimize and then Re-Index then run VFI then BU then Close Optimize completes as normal. Re-Index does not complete (does not even start?) with a message "Project is in use elsewhere." TMG then closes (without my asking it to do so as I remember it). Re-open TMG and get the statement that Repair Mode has been Activated. Attempt to re-open my main project (the one that closed while attempting to re-index) and get the following message: As I remember it this is the same sequence of events and the same messages when I went through this the first time a few months ago. I do not know what (if anything) I am doing wrong but I need to take all steps necessary to avoid this in the future.   Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Fred Claussen

Looks like RootsWeb stripped out my graphic with the error message which stated: "An error happened when opening the data tables...File c:\Users\...\Projects\Claussen_E.dbf not found" Fred On Friday, January 18, 2019, 7:13:46 PM PST, Fred Claussen <fclausse@pacbell.net> wrote: Hi Everyone: I have been a major TMG user since version 5.0 and have only recently had the following problem.  This happened once a few months ago and I successfully restored from my prior BU and only lost a couple of hours work.  I considered it a "one off" but it has just happened again so I am hoping that someone can tell me what I might be doing wrong or how I can avoid the problem in the future.
