I have no response from WRI so far. I found a partial recovery solution at the following page: http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/interface/notebooks/fixingcorrupt ed.html I was able to retrieve healthy cells, but several text cells were missing -- replaced with bad output from nearby input cells. It's very clear that when I evaluated the file, some outputs went where they shouldn't have, and it occurred in several input cells at once. Bobby Treat -----Original Message----- From: Philip M.

I have had the problem you describe below, but only when I have been foolish enough to rename a file that is open, by clicking on the icon and changing the name (in contradistinction to using "save as" "new name"). This seems to me to be a result of my operating system, but may give you a hint as to how it could occur with your system.
