I was working on this database I designed and then I did a stupid thing. I was working with part setup and made a new header. I didn't like the header so I went to delete but hit the body part instead. I didn't make a backup of the database either (i know, I know, shoot me now) anyway I lost 10 hours of work in this database that was almost done. My question can I get the body part back with all the fields I had and the layout I had or am I screwed and have to start over?

You are screwed. Start over. And learn from your mistake.

Next time...

1) Before you make any major changes to the file, use the "Save a Copy As..." command to back it up.

2) Before you make any major changes to a layout use the "Duplicate Layout" command to make a micro-backup. Delete the micro-backup when it's no longer needed.

3) Before you make any major changes to a script, use the "Duplicate Script" command to make a micro-backup. Delete the micro-backup when it's no longer needed.

4) Before you make any major changes to a calculated field, use the "Duplicate Field" command to make a micro-backup. Delete the micro-backup when it's no longer needed.

Do you see a pattern emerging?

Good programming is an art. Efficient programming is a discipline.
