.... then I "play" with it.... when I close it and NOT save the changes, the file disappears entirely. It leaves no traces.... nothing appears in an undelete utility.

Is this a previously encountered software problem or mine alone? I searched the forum in several ways for a like problem but could find nothing.

The first time it happened I thought it might be faulty memory... mine, but it has happened again.

I realize it could be a remote computer problem.... but I've never had this happen before in any type of program, file, computer or computer config in over 25 years of wrestling with computers.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
