There are 100s of polygons within a 5000 acre tract, so I'm really hoping this has a solution.

I've done literally hours of work and have saved somewhat recently but this last round of edits would appear to be lost if I cannot save this. > > Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
Save the layer into a new shapefile. Re-open what you have changed now and compare with your back-up copy. Perhaps you can save some work with copy-paste. It feels like your previous save has been at least partially successful because some features have been deleted but on QGIS side the deletion has not been confirmed. Let's hope that at least part of inserts and edits have been actually saved also. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
