Ann,
Anytime Deluxe supports the use of multiple data files. Whenever the program
is started, by default, it opens the last data file to have been opened.
Thus, if, as I suspect, your friend inadvertently opened a new (empty) data
file (by pressing ctrl-N, for example), all her/his data will have appeared
to have vanished, and, each time the program was started after that, it
would continue to open, by default, to this empty file. What your friend
needs to do is to open the data file she/he was previously using, before (as
I suspect) inadvertently starting a new data file.
As in MS Word, near the bottom of the Files menu is a list of the last four
or so data files to have been opened. I suggest that, first, your friend
check the files listed there. Most likely, one of them will be the data file
she/he was originally using, and will contain all the data that seemed to
have vanished. If this proves not to be the case, your friend will have to
search the My Documents folder (and, if necessary, the rest of her/his hard
drive) for all the *.atw files, and look in each one, for the data.
By default (I believe), Anytime does automatically make a backup of the
current data file, called currentfilename_backup.atw. If your friend is
lucky, she/he will find the missing data in this file. But, if she/he has
opened and closed the program several times since 'losing' the data, this
file has probably been overwritten by backups of the new (empty) data file,
which is now the current file. This is why I suggest your friend look in all
the .atw files, for the missing data.
To prevent this sort of thing from happening in future, I suggest the
following:
Rename the one and only data file to be used (or the one to be used by
default) data.atw (or something like that). Then, edit the shortcut that
starts Anytime, to point to data.atw, NOT to the Anytime executable. That
way, whenever the shortcut is clicked, the desired default file will ALWAYS
be the one to open.
Good luck.
Blessed Be, Namaste,
Dana

If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized
pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Anytime Delux
Two years of calendar entries/notes have vanished from my friend's Anytime
Delux. Is there a deleted items folder or an automatic archive where the
data may be hiding???
Much thanks,
Ann
