I usually do the same thing, except I change the "recover" in the filename to something like a date. That way Frame doesn't complain that it sees a recovery file and opens the two files without any hassle.

(File-> Utilities-> Compare Documents) Select the "Summary and Composite Documents" option when doing so. 5) See which version has the most up-to-date information. Save that version over the original version. Note: I just sort of developed this method by intuition. I'd be glad to hear if anyone does something different/there are problems with my method/easier ways to determine whether or not to go with a recovery version of a .fm file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harold Winberg Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 2:59 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Recovery Hello Framers I am building a Book and got the Book Error Report saying Couldn't open file because a more recent autosaved or recovered version exists. There is a recovered version in the folder. What is the safe thing to do??
