Help guys......same project another problem

I managed to re record, edit and proof this project. I saved it but when I try to open it I get the 'Audacity does not recognize this file message. I named it properly and I have both the aup and data files saved.

Not sure what you're asking Gale but........
It was a one time occurence and most likely my own fault. Your suggestion about naming and saving a project at the very start is a wise one and one which I will do from now on.

Thanks to the team for all your help now and in the past.

I've since recorded the project but I just want to know that it won't happen again.

Thanks

I had only recorded the file, I did name the file which is how I found the data folder. The filename was simply Little Big Horn....

For whatever reason I have lost the .aup file for a project. I found the data folder, can I reconstruct the project from the data folder?
