I have tried to load some of the backup *.abt configuration files I have saved a few days ago, but every time I get the message "Error opening file".

Am I missing something?

I would say you are trying to load a different modules abt in the current module.

Backups are per module and not all modules.

When trying to load say the IPC abt in a BCM then I'm pretty sure you get that error. If not then send PM one of them so I can take a look.

I have checked twice I am trying to load the IPC and BCM *.abt backups onto the IPC and BCM modules respectively. I will send you the files by PM later today when I get my other laptop where they are stored.

I've moved the forscan folder where the backup module files were saved from "My Documents" to C: - problem solved.
Probably the path to my documents contained some special characters forscan didn't like.
