OK NOW!! Thought I had learned my lesson regarding saving often and not saving over old files (rather saving 'em new in incremental fashion), but have once again run into files that VUE tells me it is unable to read!! This whole folder (see attachment) is *unreadable*!! Did nothing other than save the latest file (5.vue), exit VUE for a bit, and upon returning to work on what happens to be the first working idea I've had in Lord-knows-how-long...NOTHING!!! Both my brain cells are fried, not to mention a bit unhappy at this turn of events...so ANY and ALL ideas would be greatly welcomed?!? TIA!! ==steve
