RE: Automatic Save in FM 6 ??

[Ada Lai <adalai2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Because I'm a flaming idiot - that's why!! I simply cannot believe that I 
have missed that feature all this time!!!!! Now I KNOW that I'm working way 
too hard.

I have experienced "controlled" (??) crashes where an error message/code 
has been displayed. I have even sent it to Adobe as per instructions in the 
message (not that I ever got a response or saw the problem resolved in any 
way).

However, what I experienced today has happened numerous times to me - where 
I'm just working along, click on some word in the doc to reposition the 
cursor - get an "asterisk" sound from NT and FM shuts down. To be honest, I 
gave up a while back on trying to contact Adobe support (can't even 
remember why) and just rely on the framers list.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for (a)clueing me in and (b) not making me feel like a 
total moron (I can do that well enough by myself).

Sincerely,

Ada Lai

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.
