I have a project I am working on using my desktop. My folder is on a portable drive plugged into the desktop. I pulled the drive and plugged it in to my MS Surface which also has the same version of FM2019v15.0.3.603 to work on my project while I was out. Back on the desktop when opening the project, 10 out of 13 files were corrupt and unusable including the .backup files.

Why did this happen?

What did you mean by Corruption of file?

Is it crashing while opening or are there any corruption in text/flow?

Have you tried MifWashing* these files?? .

*MifWash is a Utility plugin given with FM .

I will have to look into *mifwash. I have since used Notepad++ to open the files where there was enough man readable data to get about 80% of my content. The files I can no longer open comprise about 120 pages of my project. I have only been using Framemaker for about a year and a half and haven't had this issue before.
