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
