My daughter accidentally turned off my Protel computer, and when I re-opened my design, a couple days work were gone. I have successfully imported the PCB from the backup directory. It now has a new name though. I am hoping to recover the sch files I had changed also, but would like to keep the file names the same, and keep my hiearchy intact. Any suggestions.

Or is it not the actual Tip & Ring coming directly from CO but rather further down stream that connects to some sort of system station card then ultimately to a phone??? Bob Robert M. Wolfe, C.I.D.
