I was attempting to store my class rosters on individual Topic Pages, headed under another Topic Page called Class Roster. Thus, I have one Topic Page entry that reads Class Roster, and double-clicking on that brings up three more topic pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Double clicking on Class Rosters doesn't do anything, and one of the class rosters seems to be missing, anyway. When I do a Find for a name that appears on the missing roster, the name appears on the picklist, but clicking on Select or double clicking on the name does nothing. What happened?

Tim There has been a problem related to topic pages that occurs completly at random. This will be fixed in 4.2. If a topic page is missing try and locate the page by selecting Find/Exact or Show/Topics….. if you can get to the page this way then select Page/Gather and move all of the entries to another page temporarily (perhaps Z). Delete the topic and add it again using a different name. Then gather all of the names and put them back in. Another way to recover the pages is to restore from a previous backup. When using topic pages after you have had this problem I would reccommend that you keep regular backups and a clone or copy of the data in your topic pages somewhere else (i.e. another book or another page). If you are sending me a backup for your Quattro export I will look into this also. Marisa Harris, Okna Tech Support

I am sending the backup copies – it took two disks! To see the problem, try searching for the name "Willie Smith." It shows in the name list, but selecting it gets you nowhere. I am looking for a Topic Page called "PL120 – Class Roster."
