<p>Hi John:</p>
<p>I am sorry to hear about your crash. It is important to note
that QGIS provides a means of querying, updating, analysing and
displaying data that is stored outside of the software (in a
variety of formats). SO, I would suggest looking for the actual
spatial files(s) that you were editing when it crashed. I assume
they still exist, however, depending on the data format, you
probably would have lost the attributes you were editing at the
time of the crash. <br>
</p>
<p>The QGIS project file may also have been corrupted at the time of
the crash. You may have to use a backup to restore your last
saved version.</p>
<p>I hope this helps</p>
<p>Kirk Schmidt <br>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Book

standalone PC. I have taken some training, but am a pretty
inexpert user. The map that I’ve spent several months
developing (for a book I’m writing) crashed on Saturday, and
when I tried to load it just now it is greyed out in the
Open Recent list (with an exclamation mark next to it) and
File Explorer no longer finds it on my hard disk.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

advised (downloaded DeBug View, which did not appear to run
on my computer). When the file crashed, I had just added a
couple of entries to an attribute table (it’s not a large
one, though there are others in the file). I’ve no doubt
someone more expert than I am could tell me how to extract a
crash report, if that would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
