Thank you.


>>Hi all:
>>
>>When I click in the project manager for a form, the form(s) does not open.
>>
>>Yet the form is on disk. If I try to open it in the command window with:
>> use FormFile.scx or sct
>>I get not a table.
>>
>>This has happenned several times, I usually go back to a backup and re-create the form. Howerver on this last one, they was many hours of work and maybe there is a way to recover it. Also, any ideas on what causes that problem?
>>
>>Thank you.

>It is very difficult to say what causes this. Typically it does not happen, in some cases it may be the fault of operating system. Files sometimes get cross-linked, which can damage your form. It might be even bad hard drive or hard drive controller or some unstable drivers which cause hang-ups. You may never be able to figure out the reason.
>As to recovering, once my form was damaged like this, and I had a lot of code there. I was able to open my .FPT as a text file with just Notepad and save my methods code by copy/paste. Then it was much easier to recreate the form.
