Whaa???? Your data is saved to the .fdb file as soon as you click on the

you got the idea that data is scattered all over your computer, but that's
*totally* wrong.
Sherry,
Actually, while the data is saved to one file, the information IS scattered over the hard disk in
non contiguous sectors. I think this is what was inferred. If your O/S loses data from the FAT it
can mess things up but this does not seem to be the case here. It sounds more like some program the
OP had running was not behaving "politely" and not releasing unused memory. As has been discovered
and posted, a restart will usually rectify the problem. The moral here is "When in doubt, do a cold
reboot!" This amazingly does fix a multitude of problems. <g>
