None.
We kinda need more information than that.
A: What editor were you using
B: What were you doing when you got the error
None.
If it's SCMDraft, open up the backup database. It's under Advanced -> Open Backup Database.
Remember to save often, and save numerous copies.
"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
There doesnt seem to be anything inside it...did i do something wrong?
None.
Go into Profile Settings (Options > Profile Settings)
In the bottom left hand corner of the window that opens up, is there a check in the checkbox that says "Enable Backup"??
None.
uh oh, its checked and Theres nothing in the "batch file" thing. . . Is my Data Lost?
None.
if there's nothing in the backup database, and you can't explain why you encountered this error, then yes, your data is lost. Sorry.
