Friends- I am crazy right now! I just spent the whole day writing up some great auctions on AM Pro and my computer froze up and I had to reboot and they are GONE!! POOF!
Why can't AM PRO save your work as you finish each auction. That would be a LOVELY FEATURE!!! Am really so frustrated- there are no words....All I could think of to do was VENT right here right now...NOT A GOOD DAY!

I hear ya... it's happened to me before too. I learned the hard way to save each auction AS I GO....

It almost happened to me not that long ago. AM Pro coding is almost as bad as Windows itself, and that is nothing to be proud about. But, then again, it IS free.

I had a double kernel32.dll crash and a double "blue-screen of death", all because of AM Pro. Needless to say, I was shitting in my pants hoping it saved my auctions.

And it did 0_o

I can relate. Years ago, I learned a very important lesson... always save your work periodically. The two seconds it takes to do so can save you hours of redoing work. Very few programs have an automatic save feature and sometimes, the ones that do, are not dependable, so it's really best to get into the habit of saving your work.

You're all right- SAVE EACH ONE! I learned a lesson- that's for sure. Guess all I can do is redo them while they're fresh in my mind at least...can't go to that juicy PA auction in the country, down 2 dirt roads tonight, because it is SNOWING BAD. Some days are just like this, i guess...and then there are other days...Thanks everyone- I'm feeling better now- hibernating in Ohio.

And even if they do, it may not save you if the program crashes while doing the automatic save.

Hey Mom, sorry to hear about your lost work. I'm in Ohio too...so glad I went to the grocery store at 9 a.m. The weather started to turn right after I got home. I hate carrying groceries in in the slop!

MOM -
"Why can't AM PRO save your work as you finish each auction" ... because the programmers didn't write it that way.

After completing EACH auction, SAVE. It's that easy.
