Data Viewer sample calcs dissapeared

[Mif]

Anyone know where I might recover a bunch of handy calculations I have always had listed on the "Watch" tab of the data viewer?

Any idea how they dissappeared?

Thanks

I wish I knew. That has happened to me as well. For me, I lost the list of calculations I had in the Data Viewer when FileMaker crashed.

I have since noticed that crashing is what has caused it for me as well. There must be a temp file somewhere that contains the data.

Apparently it's stored in the registry, along with all the user-settings for FileMaker (dialog position/size, favorites, recent files, etc., etc.)

I just wrote a simple script that can backup/restore this information from a file. It can be run by double-clicking on it (interactive mode), or passing the desired option as a parameter (silent mode). It has only been tested on Windows Vista, but should work for XP and 7 as well (as far as I know). The backup file is stored in the same directory as the script, and with the same name as the script, but with a ".reg" file extension.
