Lost my Orange Programme

Are you using the "Restore from backup" function in the Database menu??

You should keep a backup of your databases on an external drive. What if your hard disk breaks down!!!!!!!!!

I do have the backup of DB, but cannot open programme -see PS on my original message, Brian

Brian,

Do not use the "Open Database..." from the Database Menu to restore the backup. Use "Restore from Backup...". If the file is not corrupted you should have no problem to restore your databases.
