Lost forms

Post by kencr »

Hi

I'm using Windows XP, and currently evaluating StarOffice 8

Last night StarOffice shut down (crashed ??) unexpectedly. Although this doesn't seem to have affected anything created with Writer or Calc, I had to restore the database I was working on at the time.

The tables are all intact, but all the forms (about 15-16 of them) have completely disappeared. Is there any way of getting them back ??

There is a .zip file containing a backup of this particular database, but it hasn't been updated for some time.

Base works in memory, unzip file start HSQLDB in memory and all tables and forms stay in memory until you saved to disk and file closed, and more needed close application and qiut qiuck starter, too. If you during work not saved and whole application crashed all changes gone. If you used file recovery in case of Base is lost data. In past I lost data and after some crashes I avoided file recovery for odb files, it makes more damage in the then solve.
