Files repeatedly corrupted in Fixed Asset Manager

[JoeGuitarman]

Is anyone using the Fixed Asset Manager Program. We have repeatedly had major file corruption for no apparent reason. We will be working in the program and the program will close on its own. When we restart and click on the client, it says it is not a fixed asset file. When we cannot rebuild the client index as that also says it is not a fixed asset file. We can rebuild the system index but that does nothing.

Does anyone have any experience with this.

I've used it for years... never had that problem.  Including this year to date.  Don't think it's a program problem, or this place would be slammed with posts like yours.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have used FAM since 2012 without any issues as well. Just love bugs... and bug fixes. The only thing different this year is running Windows 10 .... Driving me crazy ...

it HAS been slammed for at least 2 years now.....the question is just worded in such a way that it didn't get matched up with the word "corrupted".  The posts usually say what message appears when they can't reopen a file.....something about "is not a data file....."

You are right.... i have had that issue twice  this year... and of course.... on two of the bigger client schedules,    but never while working in the client file.   just when trying to reopen it.    I NEVER leave a FAM client file open any more.... though it might  have something to do with other bugs/programs sneaking in... 🙂
