Recreating a Report Spec Your Q&A program includes several features designed to protect your data files from damage and contamination. In spite of these safeguards, occasionally a data file can be damaged by fluctuations in the power supply, static electricity, problems with the disk medium or other hardware problems. You can provide the best protection against these possible sources of trouble by using a regular program of sequential backups. For more information on how to do this, consult a standard DOS reference. The error message you received indicates that the Report Spec you were attempting to use has been damaged. Return to the Report Menu, select Design/Redesign and highlight the name of the damaged Report Spec on the Report Spec Menu. Press F3 to delete it. You will then need to recreate your Report design as you normally would. Q & A Application Note Rev. 6/92 #2205 Page 1 of 1
