file not opening

[george]

Hi to all,

I have a diskette with two files in it. The first file
opens as usual but the second one I cannot open. I get a
message that the program is not responding. Is there a way
to go around it or have I lost all my data?

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance, george

Hi George

I think you lost it

Always copy to your hard disk first
open it from there and work with it and save it
copy back to floppy
