MSP98 Problem

[Ric]

I saved my file after a small failiure in the network service. The file is
only currently showing 270 line items now instead of the 750 that it should
be after I saved it. The file size is greater than my previous draft that I
saved though still.

Is there a way to recover this programme without having to try and remember
all the added tasks/dependencies/resource hours i'd added since my last
draft?

Regards

Richard,
First let me ask the obvious. Is the file fully expanded? You might also
try saving the file as MPX and then reopening.

You say you saved the file AFTER the network failure. If the failure
caused some data loss in your file, then that data is probably
irretrievable. The fact the the file size is large tells me that you
probably use 'Save' instead of 'Save As'. Using 'Save' will cause the
file size to grow because 'Save' is analogous to 'append'. Always use
'Save As'. It is analogous to 'replace'.

If the first suggestion above doesn't help and you have no other recent
backup, unfortunately you are probably in for a lot of typing.

Good luck.
John

I've done a lot of typing.
