Hi
I recently upgraded computers and everything work well except for 3 files. every time I load them I get a file 22 error that a file has not been found. they are .vcd and mdb files and it is happening on both old and new computers. where have the files gone and how can I find them.

Every IRRICAD design consists of a .des file, a .vcd file and an .mdb file. (In versions V13 and later these are automatically compressed in a single dez file).
With any one of these files missing you cannot open the design. These would not be deleted by any function or virus I can think of. Perhaps someone cleaned up the designs folder and only kept the des files? Or perhaps the other files were moved to a different folder?
Hopefully you have some backups somewhere of the complete IRRICAD files for each design.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I found the files in the recycling bin. Must have had a brain explosion during a clean up. I have ver12.12 should it saving the designs as a des or dez file.
