Cato question

spleen1015 · 02-10-2005, 01:52 PM

After the first year of my league, I run through Catobase without any problems.

I'm at the piont where I am ready to run through it after the second season. I assume I'm supposed to open the mdb file I started with after the first season, but I am unable to find it. Did I miss saving it after I ran Cato the first time?

It would of been saved automatically and would only be missing if it somehow got accidently moved or deleted.

Before you give up, be sure to use the Win File Search function to search for any and all *.mdb files on your hard drives. You might have it there somewhere.

Once you create it, it's there unless you deleted. It's not in the folder with the data and website subdirectories?

You don't have any mdb files in that directory or maybe saved elsewhere on your PC?

I searched for it and didn't find it. I know I didn't delete it either.

Shut up!

I guess I lost it. Crap.

Thanks for all of the help, folks.

I have been able to pinpoint what happened.

I have my mdb file in the same directory as the OOTP generated HTML. When OOTP generates the HTML, it wipes out the file.

Ouch.

But you have your previous end of season backup right? So you can just import two seasons, generate, and be on your merry way again, right?

Backups?

Uh....hmm...oh yeah! Those!

No!
