: I recently upgraded (was forced because I could no longer update prices via the internet) from FM 3.4 to 4.7.230 and a few of my investments are missing data. All prices, investments, distributions, etc for almost 3 years have vanished. The files are there, but the last 3 years worth of data is gone. : Short of pulling out years worth of statements, is there any way to recover the lost data? I do have "fairly" recent backups of the files, but am afraid to convert them to see the data lost again. I guess I could make copies of copies and see.
:
: If the data can't be recovered, is there a way to restore FM back to 3.4 to print out the missing data to ease the chore of re-entering it? (I wish the prior version remained after major updates ie 3.x to 4.x) : Any help will be much appreciated,
: Paul Hi Paul,
This of course is not normal. Are you sure you're opening the same
investment files that you were using with FM 3.4? Could you be opening
a different (older) set in another directory? Can you double check the
path of the investments you're opening.
Can you still open the investments with 3.4? If so, you're not using
the same investment files, as the first time you save with 4.x the files
are converted to the new file format.
To get a list of all the paths of your investments use a custom report
with the "Path" field. Thanks,
Mark
