Hi Shannon,

I think I maybe have a big "fubar" on my hands.  And pardon my
ignorance because I don't "speak" computerese.  Yesterday I created a
Table Mailing List database.  All was well.  Today I needed to add
some more people to the list.  That was fine.  Was also able to sort
it to keep it alphabetized by last name.  My problem started when I
wanted to change the ID field to automatic.  I think that it accepted
the change, but didn't change when I opened the table again.  I went
back into edit to change it back and somehow I deleted the ID field,
which to me was not that big of a deal, but it moved all of my
information over a field i.e., my "first name" was now in the Title
field and all of the Title information was gone.  So, I went in and
renamed the fields to what they were now showing.  When I went back
to look at the table again, the information had shifted again and
this time the first names were missing.  Each change I made in the
field titles resulted in more missing information.  How do I get ALL
of my info back???  I don't want to have to start all over and I did
not have the backup copy option selected.  I have in the meantime
chosen it.  Please help soon!  Thank you! Shannon


I have read the other posts, but it is still not clear to me what kind of "database" you are using.

You should have a file with file extension .odb in the folder 'database' in your user directory (If you do not know, how to go to your user directory, please ask.) Start that file. Left bottom, in the status bar, there is a string, which tells you, which database you are using.

Kind regards
Regina
