I've recently developed a problem (twice in one week).
Aafter carelessly deleteing names in rolodex, I developed:
Error reading from file (some #)
(OK)
Then the next time I tried to Open my Rolodex I Got
File Error:; Could not read background ID 7654 (<- or something)
how do I fix this??
Can this be fixed... I'm well versed in file/resource editors and
given some info could makethe neccessary changes in order to save some
of my hard work...
Help

A file error (some #) usually means bad media, depending on the number. If you have been using the same floppy for a long time, it is probably time to replace it. That was the good news. The bad news is that the stack is trashed as a result of bad media (it sounds). Find a backup copy of the stack. You do back up frequently, don't you??? I hope for your sake that you do. If not, start. Dan Allen Apple Computer P.S. - I don't mean for this to sound harsh, but that is the cruel reality of bad media. You could recover a large portion of your data by looking through the stack with Fedit. Most of your text will probably still be there, except in a sector or two where the media screwed up.
