Re: Automatic Save in FM 6 ??

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why aren't you using the Auto-Save feature in 5.5.6?
1. Choose Filte > Preferences.
2. Turn on the check in the Auto Save Every ___
line.
3. Type in the number of minutes between autosaves
(the lower the number, the less work you'll lose when
FM crashes).

It seems to me, however, that you should try to find
out what's making FM crash so often. If the crash
is caused by FM, a message indicating en error code
should appear. Write down that code value.
