So you always have a copy of what you had before you started, and could open it to revert if you wanted or needed to (as long as you think to do so before you close the file). Separate folder within the main folder called Backup with files called Piano Copy and the like. A neat system, which had slipped my mind. It's just an automatic script which is activated on close.<DIV><SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </SPAN>I back up at the end of the day to a flash memory devise, then at the end of the week to an external hard drive.

I think your backup is the best answer. If you want to revert, you can go find what you had before. Or maybe there is another way to revert that I haven’t discovered. I’m certainly no expert in FileMaker, having only used it for a couple years now, but I like most of what I see.<BR> Fred<BR> On 9/13/07 11:27 AM, "Jim Busby" <<A href="mailto:jim_busby@byu.edu">jim_busby@byu.edu</A>> wrote:<BR> <BR> </FONT><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><FONT color="#000080"><FONT size="2"><FONT face="Arial">Thanks Fred,<BR> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT face="Verdana"><BR> </FONT><FONT color="#000080"><FONT size="2"><FONT face="Arial"> <BR> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT face="Verdana"><BR> </FONT><FONT color="#000080"><FONT size="2"><FONT face="Arial">There is one feature that I HATE with this though – There is no “save” feature, so if you accidentally change something and realize it too late, you can’t go back.
