Solution: See the following: Temporary Files a.Select Start button b. In the field just above the button type in "%temp%" , and press keyboard enter / return key. c. This will display your user profile Temp folders, scan down for a folder with the format " AP_ ..." (ex. AP_11, AP_09, etc..) and open this folder to view the files within. Note: This folder contains temp files used by the program. When a file is closed by the program, it will automatically remove these temp files. If AutoPIPE is currently closed, no model is open on your system, these represents instances where AutoPIPE may have been closed incorrectly or system crashed where these files could not have been automatically removed. d. Search for a folder with the correct system name that was being worked on, and open that folder. e. If there are files within it, move the entire folder to a safe location (ex. desktop), and try to open the AutoPIPE DAT model from this new folder location. Otherwise use the steps above to rename any BAK or Uxx files and open them for review. f. If successful in recovering a file, with it still open in AutoPIPE, save the file to the correct working directory location typically used for your AutoPIPE models.
