Just lost all my changes to a form I have been working on all day. Went to
save my changes and VFP9 crashed and both the scx and sct files are gone.
Just disappeared ....
How can this happen and more important how can I avoid this in the future ?
Is this a Foxpro problem ? a Windows 8 problem or a Dell laptop problem ?
Is there a way to make a backup of a form when you click on the edit option
in the project manager ?
Dang this SUCKS !!!!

Are there any other files with odd extensions sitting in the folder where
the sct/scx should be. In the past I have experienced this and found such
files. Simply renamed them and life was good again.

As Darren mentioned, you may find them in the OS/VFP temp folder location with obscure filenames.

Hi Kent:
> how can I avoid this in the future ?
Using a Source Code Manager tool, as SVN, Git, Perforce or PlasticSCM, you
can avoid this problem, because you have a copy of every file on the
server, that can be your PC or another PC.
I keep asking myself why people see this tools as something complicated,
when using them is a few clicks work.
By the way, you can have a copy of your binaries in text (prg-style) format
<https://vfpx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FoxBin2Prg>, to regenerate those
binaries when you need them.
I can give you some help on doing that, If you are interested.
Best Regards

I double checked for weird temp files but no luck. Checked recycle bin but
nothing ...
They disappeared ...

Checked the \kent\appdata\loca\temp and lots of files but not the 2 that
went missing ...
Wish there was a way to make a backup of the form when you click the edit
button in the project manager ....

Thanks and yes we use the Vault which is very nice but it has last night's
backup / version.
Unfortunately I have been working on this form all day and at 4:30pm it
decides to crash and disappear ....

I'm sure you could write a project hook to do that for you if there's
not one out there that does that already

Kent,
I'm sure a ProjectHook can be written to do it. Someone might already have
one out there.
I've been there, so I feel your frustration. May the reedits flow quickly.

Kent
It might not be a total loss - do you have an exe or app from before you
lost the SCX ? If so then Refox would get back your screen.
Cheers
Darren
