Hi Framers,
I've read a few threads on this in the archives but didn't get how
they could help solve this problem.
Using FM 9.0p255 on a virtual PC, Windows 7, via Parallels.
I have a set of well-established files on an external HD that I take
between home and office to work on the files regularly. Yesterday,
one file generated the dreaded "unknown file type" error and nothing
seemed to open it. Because I'd had a modem power supply go bad around
the same time as I last worked on this file (at home), I accepted the
corruption and was able to restore the content from other sources
into a new file.
Today, a different file that was fine yesterday afternoon at home now
generates the same "unknown file type" error at the office. And this
file I don't relish reconstructing. The result is the same whether I
double-click from the Mac, open from the Windows desktop or folder,
or choose File>Open in Frame. From the Mac side it looks like the
permissions are OK; don't know how to check that on the PC side.
I'm concerned that the problem is random and could affect any file at
any time--I can't back up every file every minute without seriously
slowing down my/the computer's efficiency and compromising my
already-tight deadline.
Are there any solutions to this problem? Something I missed or
misunderstood in the archives?
Thanks for any insight,
Karen
