Hello Paolo,

In principle, there is no reason that causes than AB delete the project's file... please, remember that AB prepare some backups of our apps in the "_history" directory, so may this can help you in some way.

On the other hand, please, Paolo, provide me with a sample app in order to reproduce your problem, or, specify, step by step, how to reproduce it and I will try to do it.

Hello Paolo,

I receive your email with your step by step instructions to reproduce the problem, and, certainly, you are right, Paolo, something is wrong here. First of all, I am very, very sorry if this issue cause that you loss any second of work time... please, remember that, by default, AB maintain backup files in the "_History" directory (this directory is hidden by default, and you can see it in the same folder than your AB project file), so maybe you can rollback to one of the saved project files.

Apparently the problem is caused by the Unicode character(s) that we are trying to place in a Report or HTML Content: something is wrong when AB save this stuff in the project file. Of course, I want to take a look at this issue and then I will back to you here with more information, and, I hope... with this bug fixed. Please, sorry again for any possible inconveniences, Paolo.
