Missing Groups

EndNote EndNote General
1

My groups are missing and I’d like them back. Note that I did *not* change the name of my library. (I am aware of the importance of renaming the .data file.)

I was snooping around in a historical copy of my rdb folder and noticed that there are four MySQL files that change when I create a new group:

  • jterms.MYI

  • misc.MYD

  • misc.MYI

  • terms.MYI

Deleting allows me to open a copy of my EndNote Library while including them again gives me the error, “EndNote Library could not be opened.”

Even if I could see what was in one group, I would be happy to recreate it.

Any ideas?

I used “tools > recover library” and that recovered my groups, so problem solved.

I have the same problem but restoring my library didn’t work. Gah!

It seems there are other who have troubles with missing groups after recovering a library. But I can’t really follow the advises already given.

I had to recover my library, that created a new .enl-file and a new .data-folder. I updated the list. But the groups were gone!

I tried to copy the old files (misc.frm, misc.myd and misc.myi and misc.tmd) to the new folder, because I thougt that were the files with group data, but it did’t work.

Somebody can help (I use Endnote X3)
