I'm unsure what you mean  by missing but..Proseries data files are housed under your prowin18 it baswin18 folder depending on if you're using proseries professional it basic under the corresponding data folder (unless you manually saved elsewhere) and your files will end with 18i for individual, it 18s for scorp etc. If you need to search your directory.

Hi Ashley,   Appreciate your time.   When I reinstalled proseries 2018 basic before I did that I saved or called the original files BasWin18OLD and I see those lost or not recovered clients in that folder.  How do I get them into the current active database where the rest of my clients reside.  Thanks again.  can I do a transfer out of that old file into my now active client file.

You could copy the files from old and paste into the new proseries folder exact same location but be sure to grab BOTH the data file and the corresponding pmd it pmb file (can't remember which it's called) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:  but that should get you good to go:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
