I tried merging a small file into my large existing file that I work on all the
time. FTM asked me if I wanted to back it up before merging, I said yes, but
it apparently didn't because I can't find it anyplace, even after using a
search. Anyone ever have this happen to them?

It would help (maybe!) if you stated which version of FTM, what
OS you're on, and how you searched (by extension, name, or...)?

Dear Pat,

The back up should be under the same sub directory that your "master" file is
listed. The extension will be changed to ??.ftb?? or some thing else. So a search
for the beginning file name (example: smith*) and you should find it. Recall that
FTM saves the master file each time you make an entry and back ups every time you
close the program. Mike

PS: Good job following FTMs suggestion to back up before merging. That may save
you a lot of head aches.
