So I was on PP last night (version 8.1 here in Canada - the newest version). Saved to my flash drive. Took my flash drive, loaded it on my laptop and went to a host's to close a show.

Came home and clicked on PP to restore from data (from my flash drive) and as soon as it opens a database error window comes up and states 'enter path to CBChef.mdb" It has C:\Program Files\PamperedPartner Canada\ in the path area already but when I click 'ok' it just keeps repeating itself. The only other option to click is cancel.

When I click cancel up comes PamperedPartner Error window and it says "unable to find the CBChef.mdb database file. Please make sure the file is in the same directory as Pampered Partner" and the only option is to click ok and when I do that a window comes up PamperedPartner Canada stating 'The PamperedPartner is unable to continue and will now terminate'!!!!!!!!!!!

So I can't even GET to the restore from data link. Tried to save it on a floppy and it won't let me do that. I can't open anything!! So I of course tried to go to my shortcuts and reopen, tried doing a search and opening that way, tried going to CC to download update...anything but IT'S down. Anyone out there a tech whiz that can help. I'm gone ALL day tomorrow and tomorrow evening until late and HAVE to get TWO shows submitted!

ARGGGG:eek: :eek: :eek:
