I created a tool in the files section called zipproj.prg. It creates a backup of every file in your project and puts it in a zip file. You will need winzip -available at winzip.com. If you use it every day then the most you will lose in a power failure is one days work.

>I have done some testing on this. And here are my conclusions:

>I can consistently repeat the problem in any Win2K Prof. Computer.
>We have the problem since we upgraded the PC's to Win2K.

>I repeat it like this:
>Enter VFP6
>in the command window type: Modi Form test
>Drop a textbox in the form
>Press CTRL+W (It's the same whatever method I use to save the form)
>Press the reset button of the computer.
>When Win2k comes back, I enter VFP and the files test.scx/t are trashed.

>This happens in 10 out of 10 times I repeat this steps and I tried them in 4 different computers.
>
>Other conclusions:
>
>- All the forms that were opened and saved in the last 2 hours (this number is obviously not precise) get trashed if the power fails on Win2K.
>- FRX/T are affected as well (I imagine VCX/T also).
>- The write cache property of the disk doesn't affect this behavior.
>- SP1 doesn't affect this behavior.

>So, without a UPS the probability of loosing work if the power goes down is very high.
>I hope Microsoft adresses this problem shortly.
