If anyone can help me recover the script for my past two programs, I'd be forever grateful. It was loads of work and I fear that it's gone as double clicking the program automatically load an older unrelated program. Please help if you have any idea what to do.

I guess one needs to start anew with each new program and manually copy and paste necessary code bits (and print out the code after every session).

I can't believe I have to redo all that work and rediscover all of my solutions.

Hi Josh,

What happens if you suppress messages (in the Development menu) and choose Open from the File menu to open your stacks?

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I tried that. It still opens the old version. Any other ideas? I think the script still exists as the file sizes are different across programs despite both of the new ones only opening the original program.

Mark,

If you think it'd help, I'd happily email you the three programs (original + 2 drastically different modified versions). If you're willing just email me JoshRedfordATboisestateDOTedu.

As always, any help is appreciated. I can't even motivate myself to begin redoing the numerous hours of work I just finished. I really hope you can help.

Josh

For posterity, the new files saved to the archaic directory and the archaic program saved to the new directories (all swapped filenames). Confusing? Yes. Frustrating? Certainly. Relieved? You bet your ###.

Take care all and thanks for trying to help, Mark.

That's really weird, Josh :-)
