If the dialog box gives you the option to IGNORE, you can choose that and your application _may_ give you the opportunity to save your data. Of course it may just crash again. If it doesn't give you this option and instead only lets you close the application, well you're SOL. Usually it only takes a person one time losing a hard days work and they learn to save save save. If you are a hard case, like a couple of my friends, then try to use applications that have autosave features. AmiPro has one, and probably WFW also. That way you can have your app save your work every ten minutes or so and the only thing you'll notice is the hour glass popping up for a half-second or so. If you dont use apps that have this feature, but you don't mind installing some third-party add-ons to Windows, try using something like WinBatch to write an auto-save batchfile in Windows. ---JRE--- Invalid disclaimer.com...system halted -- Jim Erickson ZZZZ EEEE OO SSSS ZEOS International, Ltd. support@zeos.com INET Z E O O S Technical Support Dept. uunet!zeos!support UUCP Z EE O O SSS 530 5th Ave N.W. 800-228-5390 VOICE Z E O O S St. Paul, MN 55112 612-633-7337 ZZZZ EEEE OO SSSS FAX 612-633-4607
