Could you please explain to me HOW you could possibly design a program, brag about adding in automatic save feature and then it doesn't automatically save an editted item......
I lost 25 items today because of this screw up...
Well duh........that is what I get for trusting you guys. I should know better.
Please explain to me when and if you will ever have an automatic save feature.

it is supposed to be turned on, I had already used it numerous times before....just not on an edit......I assumed when I editted an item and clicked ok, it would save the items.
i will go check my preferences and see if it "jumped" off.

ok, now I have a major issue, and I don't think it is your problem, because I don't see anyone else screaming about it.....and a few on here would scream.
I will try to explain this ...it is difficult.
first I click new batch.......
then I open a batch I have called templates......I copy an auction I have made up with the starting price, category, description everything set......
I close templates
I go to new batch and I copy 15 of this auction in there
I name it to save it, no problem
I highlight the first auction and click edit......I fill in the titles and details I want click ok......
all goes fine for a bit, first occurence was about 10 auctions were fine.....
second occurence was 7 auctions then it started....
first time.......I clicked my auction to edit the contents as usual, I have been using this technique for ages, BTW...
I fill in the info, hit spell check, click ok, it closes, I look at the list, the item has moved up the list and REPLACED another previously done item.....so I click the one that is highlighted, there is my previously done auciton showing all info in place....the fresh one not the one it replaced, I click ok, I look no title showing in the line, and the title is still up the list, so I highlight the title showing, hit edit, and there is my just finished auciton info sitting in there with title and everything, like it saved twice.......and the auciton that was n that line is GONE.......bye bye......and when I clicked on the other space where the fresh auciton was, now it is an empty template auciton.
Weird, must have been my error
so I do another paying close attention, same thing only it is down two line from the last auction it erased, again shows like it saved double, go back a second time and the template one is gone....
ok, this is weird, I reboot, start a whole fresh batch, and after 7 auctions saving fine, it starts again.....this is weird......so I close down, reboots
start a fresh batch, click ok at the end, it shows no title showing
I open it, the title is there, all info is there, I click ok, it shows a title
I do another item, click ok, it shows no title for it, I open it, there is all the info I close it, now it is showing no title and neither is the other title, I one the first one, info all gone, second one info all gone, I close that batch and ran a virus scan, clean
I just ran scan disc and defrag yesterday
I have windows 98 SE on this machine.
any ideas where to look first for the problem.
this is a fresh downloaded copy of this program from last week or two weeks ago, I think. Does this have to do with that automatic save feature, it didn't work like this last spring when I used it.
I run no other programs other than operating programs for the computor, nor do I have any other windows open, I am an old timer around here, I know that cannot be done.
