[ continuation ] to the third file on the tape: Bring up QB Select Restore (file 1 directory loads) Select Cancel Select Tape Options.. Select Rewind Select Space Select Space again Select OK Select Restore >I now have the 3rd file directory 5. This is the other ritual that works: Bring up QB Select Restore (file 1 direcotry loads) Select Cancel Select Tape Options.. Select Rewind Select Space Select Rstore (shows directory of file 2) Select Cancel Select Restore again >QB now finds the file 3 directory even though the tape was not specifically "spaced" from file 2 to file 3. The Restore works. 6. After seeing that the restore automatically started reading file 3 without spacing forward from file 2, I tried doing the same after restore on file 1. Here are the results of one try: Bring up QB Select Restore (shows directory of file 1) Select Cancel Select Restore again get requester: "unable to read catalog from tape" Select Cancel >QB then rewinds the tape, spaces forward, stops and rewinds again 7. Another attempt at doing #5: Bring up QB Select Restore (shows directory of file 1) Select Cancel Select Restore again >tape rewinds and directory of file 1 is reloaded. This sequence happened most times. #6 only happened twice. Hopefully there is enough information here for you to get this silliness straightened out. #1 is especially bad and most of the rest are puzzling at best. I'm thankful that I haven't lost any data. Other than these problems, QB 5.0 is a great product in the tradition of 4.3 and the rest. If you need further info, give me a shout – you are welcome to call, (609) 228-8088. Thanks – Don – via Whap!
