<p>Hi</p>
<p>If you have Windows 10 and have activated "Back up using File
History" (Setting/Update and Security/Backup....) you may have a
copy of the file. If your files disappeared for no reasons, I
would seriously scan your hard drive in case you are seeing
indications of a drive failier.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>Nicolas<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>
