Does Reckon have a file repair utility ??

I have tried everything to get Reckon to stop crashing my computer . The last thought is my file has been corrupted.

Gerry Winter has tried and been fantastic .I have been told for other reckon products there may be such a thing as a file repair utility ? Is there such a thing for Reckon Personal Plus ?

Recommend that you make a copy of your existing current data file and save it in a known location.

Then if you have been backing up regularly, consider locating the most recent backups and attempt to open them.

When I am using Reckon Personal Plus it just crashes randomly Usually when I try and do a share update or access a report .

I have updated to V31 as per your instructions re a clean install twice. I have had the computer looked at and there are no problems. Gerry Winter has accessed it and can't see the problem . The technician who set up the computer has had it in the shop and advises it is good . I restored a previous backup all to no avail He mentioned he had a reckon customer with a similar problem who accessed a file repair facility from Reckon ?
