mike, I had that once, we had a thunderstruck overhere and my comp went up in smoke. luckely i the harddrive was ok, but i was working with protel. I had the luck that my backups created by protel where up to date and i only had to make a few changes. my advice, look in your project directory and open the backup schematics made by protel.
after that major incident i made myself push first the F and then the L button very frequently!! (File save alL) Remco van den Heuvel. Hardware Engineer.
