Goodbye Catobase....(has this happened to you before?)

Zweiblumen · 10-18-2004, 02:43 PM

So I decided to mess around with Cato some, and it looks really slick....however:

I imported a few seasons worth of data and then set Cato to run over night to produce the reports. The reports came out fine, but Cato seemed to hang after finishing and reporting the total time. I was unable to close it via normal means and ultimately had to reboot my computer.

Sadly, my dynasty's mdb file had disappeared at this point. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you regularly back up your mdb file and does cato often lose it if you can't shut it down cleanly?

Never had anything like that happen myself. Strange.

I back up my league file after each import and before any output is done. I've had many catobase problems before that could be easily fixed simply by redoing things.

I also backup my database after everything I do. I also keep 2 working backups just in case I mess up when I am importing and notice something imported wrong or so on.
