John, my sympathies...the very next afternoon (I hadn't seen the posts) I did the
exact same thing! To stop the addition, I tried esc and F1, then Ctrl Alt Del. Big

Filemaker Pro mid-process." Thank goodness I had a good backup and with some help
from Jack got back most of what I lost. Wow and weird, eh?!
