Problem with corrupted file after saving.

Post by fluhunt62 »

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with SoftMaker Office PlanMaker. I've been working on a rather large spreadsheet for the past few days, saving it regularly. However, today when I tried to open the file, PlanMaker reported that it was corrupted and couldn't be opened.
I've tried opening the file on different computers and with different versions of PlanMaker, but I'm getting the same error. I'm worried about losing all the data I've entered.
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Is there anything I can do to recover the file or prevent this from happening again? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice.
Thanks in advance!

Have you checked your backup copies? Unless you changed it, PlanMaker should save backup copies of several previous versions of your file when you save.

I have something similar to this problem.
A large-ish spreadsheet (originally from Excel) will no longer open and crashes PlanMaker each time I try to open it. It's password protected but after entering the password Planmaker closes - no warnings or error messages.

I've gone back through the back-ups and the last 3 versions saved from earlier today do the same (despite being fine when they were worked on earlier). At the moment the 4th oldest one opens ok. This started yesterday and I had re-done a few simple edits from a back-up version and re-saved with the original name, but it's crashed again today with the last 3 versions.

The corrupt versions open fine in Excel (very old version).

Any suggestions for what could cause this sort of behaviour?
