Lost my ixl file....

Oh man.....

I just lost my own personal WCC file...

I had a bunch of channels set up how I wanted (no, I didn't make a backup...) and for some crazy reason... I went in and tried to organize the display.

This wasn't really that big of a list (20 or so channels), but I created "---DAILY---", "---WEEKLY---" and "---OCCASSIONAL---" entries in an effort to group items. Basically, some dummy entries. In order to create these entries, I had to put *something* in the URL field. At first I put http:// but later went back and just put a space there.

I was moving these section titles around and wanted to add some space. So I created some blank entries (space in title, space in URL). I created one and copied and pasted some more throughout the document list.... when all of a sudden, I got a program error (Dr. Watson). I had wcc120a.ixl open as well so I closed that. When I went to open my own WCC file it opened up blank. Looking at the file in Windows showed it to be 0K. That's zero KB....

I don't know how this happened, but I do know that it wasn't too smart to be playing around with the ixl file without a backup. Very sad, frustrated...

oh well... starting to rebuild.....

What's that old expression from Leisure Suit Larry?

Oh yea, "Save early, save often."

Sorry to hear of your troubles. We've all been there.
