Sorry, didn’t know where or what else to do. I had to do a reset on my system, reinstalled manager, and when I try to import my back-up, I get “invalid file format” any suggestions. Is the a thread covering this that you can lead me to. Thanks Tracer

Windows reset, basically removing all apps previously installed, starting over with a clean slate.

If you removed Manager, you only removed the application, not the data, unless you completely erased and/or reformatted your drive or deliberately removed the application data folder. Since you did not mention that, I assume you did not. Therefore, all your data, which is stored entirely separately …

I don’t deny that the data file may still be on my computer, apparently Manager did not find it. After re-installing manager and opening it, my account was not there, hence the attempt to import my last backup. I opened file explorer and searched for all files containing “manager.” There are many an…

OK, you did more than you first said. Launch the program and look under Preferences for the application data path. This is the folder where Manager is looking.

[image] Brucanna: if you do a .manager search you will get over 200 responses. If you look for .manager extensions, everything you find should be a file generated by Manager. And yes, there might be hundreds, depending on your backup practices and history and the number of businesses you have…

[image] Tut: If you look for .manager extensions, everything you find should be a file generated by Manager. NO [0000000 Bug 2a] And also [0000000 Bug 3]

Only the four files with the Manager icon actually have .manager extensions. The rest all include “manager” as part of their file name or are references to URL’s. The four with .manager extensions are clearly labeled as being of “Type: MANAGER File.”

Yes, but the illustration is showing that the .manager search will produce results which contradicts your comment “everything you find should be a file generated by Manager”.

No it doesn’t. I specifically wrote, “If you look for .manager extensions, everything you find should be a file generated by Manager.” I even put it into bold type.
