Did you get your computer back running or get a new computer?

If the data is not there, you can restore from a backup.  Do you have a backup of the data?

If you can find your data files but they don't show in proseries there is a way for proseries to re-index (or something.)

I think this might be it (It;s been several years since I had to)

Open Proseries, Open a homebase view (IE 1040) Click on the homebase button, scroll down to homebase maintenance (Click) then choose a directory to scan.

Hopefully I got that right

If you have all the data files, hopefully you back up on a daily basis, and theyre back in the data folder, run Homebase Maintenance from the Tools menu, that should sync up HB.

If the data files are in the folder that they belong and it's only homebase you're missing... try homebase Maintenance should work. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
