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 ....

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
