Thank You all for your help and advice. I now have all of my Family Tree Maker infomation back and have save 5 years worth of work. This is a great site with wonderful people on it. You all have my best wishes.

Ill be honest and say that the solution wasnt a bright idea I had, but alot of searching around other forums, about 45 mins in all. However, I know what its like to lose precious files and documents, and I imagine the amount of research that has gone into your project was pretty vast. On this basis IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE!! :-)

good luck with finishing your family tree.
