lost programs/programs rolled back

Chris...

Each new save or compile you make OVERWRITE the previous version of your file ...

let's suppose you lost one ... you Must find the N-1 version. Right ???

NOT the N - 100 one !!!

I'd recommend you to check your HD for similar file names ... ( missed a " " character in the name or saved the file to another folder ...)

Your file hasn't disappeared ...


I just did the test : Save 2 files with the same name into 2 different folders ...

MCS can open both @ the same time without any way for you to recognize which is which ...

Just launch a Window SEARCH over your whole HD ( 90 MB will be kickly searched ...)

Chris ...

reading your lasts posts ... your PC adventures really are tremendous ...

I begin to understand why Dave wrote " Wear safety glasses when programming " in his signature. LOL

Try to work with a little more care ... you can't imagine the time you will spare.

Alain, thanks for the patronising attitude, but you have fallen short of explaining what the problem was.
FYI the first thing I did was to check for duplicates with the Search function. None were found. Because I have 4 hard drives I decided to narrow down the search scope by adding the .pbp extension to my file name and understandably the file with no extension was not found this way.

Trust me, there was great care applied, this is an important project I have spent months over. The behaviour was totally unexpected, and is most likely a consequence of the crash I already told you about.

Your behaviour , on the other hand, was pretty predictable, and probably you should take more care ;-)
