Damaged data blocks Paul Tilling 12-07-2006

After performing a Validate from within the Quicken program, if I get an
error message saying:-
'QDF:Incorrect file size' followed by a long list of 'Damaged Data Block'
messages, and then by a message saying:-
'QSD: No error' and
'QEL: No read errors.' and
'QEL: All internal consistency checks passed'
Should I jump out the window?

Seriously, does it mean I have lost some of my vital data?

Advice much appreciated.

Paul

Hi, Paul.

Aren't you glad you have backups?!

Even if you didn't "manually" make backups when Quicken reminded you, you
should be able to find one no more than a week old in C:Program
FilesQuickenWBACKUP. The fileset should have the same name as your
working data set, except with the numeral "1" attached: Paul1.qdf, for
example. In Quicken, click File | Open or File | Restore Backup File, then
browse to your backup folder. At least, that's how it works in Quicken
2007; you didn't tell us which version you are running.

Then close your window. ;<)
