After a break from 3 Jan my groups have gone like in message from 13 Jan but I have folder library.data with rdb and trash subfolders. In rdf is 22 files. Which one is with groups definisions. I had a backup, but when I try to open in EndNote X4 some of them changed modification date from 03 to 17 Jan. What’s going on ??? It is more than 8000 records and more than 1000 was classified to groups. Is anyone to help me, please.

I’d like to add that system is Vista.
Is it possible that this is result of an update of Vista?
Authors and Journal Term lists have gone too.
All my library files are in one subdirectory.

Leanne, thanks.
I know that library is libname.enl and libname.DATA folder and always tried to use as a one.
I’m not sure what happend. I synchronized library on two computers - simply copied files from one to another and I saw on both computers my groups. After 2 weeks groups have gone.
I wrote to tech support and received an answer:
If you only work with the .enl file, EndNote has to attempt to rebuild the library which can fail if there are errors in the .enl file or there is data not available. You will also loose any groups or file attachments for the library if this happens.
Interesting is that I loose groups, lists of authors and journals but file attachments (more than 3400) are stil working (that would be a great loos).
Recovering of library from .DATA to empty .enl doesn’t work - it means .DATA is not good, but why, what was my mistake.
Where is an information about groups - in .enl or in .DATA. I think you have more powerfull tool to look inside tha data and recover my groups, but I started recover them by hand - it was only about 1000.
I’d like to won’t repeat my mistake.
What is a tool to synchronize library on two computers - I didn’t find any in manual (not web solution).
Is it possible to synchronize library if on one computer existing reference were changed and on the second the new reference were add ?
