I have to reinstall Windows, is ther ea way that I can recover my AHP or whatever it is called from the interface? I have made changes and forgot to back it up

Short answer:
nope!

Tuicemen is 100% right.  It's a hard lesson to learn, but Rule #1 with AHP is ALWAYS back up your .ahx files to a different drive or removable media. It will save your butt.

[Kramer Chins]

Yes it is a hard lesson learned  !!!!!!!!

Now I keep a mine on a 2 gig Flash Drive.

nope!

The long answer is even if you were able to pull the stored information from the CM15A it would not contain the information that was in the AHP file. Only the specific information needed for execution is stored in the CM15A. So that long macro in that you wrote in AHP where you tell radio and bed room light to wake you is simply stored as a few bytes of data. i.e. The CM15A has no idea if it's turning on radio or the coffee pot when it sends an "A2 ON".

Actually I lucked out, I hadn't re-imaged my system at the time I had posted this, I just couldn't boot up, I was able to boot into a "police CD" that I had downloaded sometime ago which runs XP from a CD, and it allowed me to copy all of my stuff that I needed from the "C" drive that I needed.

WHEW!!!!

Thanks guys, I WILL be backing that up to another place.........I only have ONE macro that isn't working now, but I will figure it out. (I hope)
