Hello,
I recorded a podcast with someone, and did a fair amount of editing to it in Audacity. When I went to open it up this morning, I received the following error messages.

I'm hoping someone can help me out - I really hope there is a way to save this file as I do not have back-up.
Thank you!

On "/Users/Michael/Desktop/" you should see a file:
"Thats Trash - Alex.aup"
and a folder:
"Thats Trash - Alex_data"
The error message is saying that the folder is missing.
Perhaps you renamed it or sent it to trash.
If you renamed, change the name back to "Thats Trash - Alex_data".
If you've moved it, move it back to the Desktop.
Unless you have both the ".aup" file and the associated "_data" folder, you have no show.
