I have the Millennium Edition of SmartSuite. After upgrading my OS to XP Pro not immediately but after some time of use one of my files (with all my invoices for last 4 years!!!) doesn't want to open anymore. Only a message appears saying :"Error opening or saving file". Is there any way to get it work again or at least some data from the file? Where should I go with this problem?
 
First question that comes to mind is backups.

Are you doing some regular backups or did you do a file backup at the time you converted operating system?

-------------------------------------
It's 10 O'Clock ( somewhere! ).
Are your registry and data backed up?
 
Well if I only did... Apparently this will teach me a good lesson about doing backups
 
The strange thing is I can open the file with Notepad or WordPad so it must be just a bit of a bad code in it...
