Missing place names
Posted by: Peter Walker (ID *****8691) Date: January 01, 2008 at 03:26:49

I have the following problem:
1. I used UFT and backed up the SQZ file and also a GED file.
2. I backed up all my files (Word, Excel, etc) on a dvd and also the whole of the UFT directory.
3. I also copied the UFT directory to my slave hard drive so that if the main drive were to fail I should have a working UFT. I have done this and the backing up in the past without problems.
4. I then tried to use UFT as normal only to find that I was confronted with ''missing place no.xx'". I also found that the name of extended events e.g. 'UK Census 1881' were missing although the date in the date column is there. If I try to add an extended event I cannot find any of the UK Census ones.
5. I also tried to access the program from the slave drive copy of the .pro file and from the dvd but had the same problem as above.

Questions:
1. Why should the mere copying of the UFT directory to another drive cause these problems?
2. What missing files should I look for?
3. Why would the UK Censuses disappear from the extended events? I assume that they were part of the program, as I cannot recall inserting them (indeed I don’t think there is a facility).
4. I tried looking at previous posts and one referred to X_PLBOOK but I cannot see any files with this name.
5. I tried the links suggested by Ruth but as they were a few years old they don’t now work.

Hopefully someone can help me otherwise I will have a rotten start to 2008 if I have to reinput all the missing information for several hundred events!
