On coming out of standby mode, the computer lost sound
and hung up. I had to shut it down by pressing and
holding the power button. After re-boot, which worked
normally, I tried to load a program that was in memory
when the computer went to Standby and got the following
message: "The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the
process because you and another user are attempting to
change the same data at the same time. 3197." (There are
no other users.) After clicking OK, the program proceeded
to load normally BUT a file with study notes is blank and
the study notes window is not active. Everything else in
the program is there and works OK, and no other
program on the computer is affected.

I tried re-booting. That didn't work. I tried re-
installing the program. That didn't work. I deleted the
study.not file and isolated it in another folder, and
then executed the program which worked perfectly, but
created another study.not file which, of course, is empty.

I opened the original study.not file in WordPad, getting
nothing but machine language. I opened the newly created
study.not file in same with same results. I compared the
beginning strings and towards the end of the strings
there is a 5-letter (for want of a better word)
difference as follows: ¢&#£À (orig) R]þà (new). If
that is the problem, how do I overwrite the difference?
If it isn't . . .????

Trust somebody out there has a solution!!!
 
An observation; If I'm reading you correctly you appear to have named your
file "study.not" (StudyDotNot), not a good idea to use punctuation in naming
a file.
You could try, through My Computer, hilighting the file, right click and
Open with Notepad. Ensure allways use this to open is unticked

David,

Thanks for your observation. However, the study.not file
I'm referring to is inherent to the program involved,
named so by the program itself when the program is
installed. It is actually a text editor that is used in
the program to write Study Notes. Thus the disignator.
Sorry that was not clear.

Click to expand...
Further testing shows that the beginning string changes
at that particular location EVERY time the program is
opened and closed whether or not the Study Notes editor
is used.

Still looking for a solution!!! Will appreciate any
help!!!
