Margaret:  I had this problem, or thought I had.  When I notice a drop in the field count--and in a big file I check after every edit--I immediately close the file without saving changes.  When I go back all the records are there and I can re-edit without any problem.  But why does the field count drop in the first place?

Subject: loss of records

I keep losing records.  I will make a number of edits to a file, and all goes well.  Then all of a sudden I lose most of the file.  I admit I'm working with a largish file (10,000 bibs) but I don't understand why I can make changes without a problem if size were the issue.

I think someone else on this list had this problem but I can't remember what they thought was causing it.
