A couple of questions before venturing an opinion...
Which OS... and which File System if you know.
When you say you will save your file... are you running it for days on
end without doing a File Save or Cntl-S. The reason I ask this is if you
have a scheduled backup running it will back up the file as it stood
last time you did a File Save. If is important that anyone doing a
scheduled backup save the file to disk periodically.

Not only that, the first 4000+ entires in my log had no information other than X's in all logbook fields! The demo log included with v8.02 had several days worth of my latest contacts in it even though I have never opened it or saved to. I only have the two logs in the 'Save' folder.....my main station log and the demo log. This may be a 'glitch' on my part but as I have not edited or played around with the logs or had a computer crash I have no idea why it happened. I eventually found a '~xl' back up file which fortunately had the missing information in it!!! It may be worth you keeping an eye on your logs and saving your 'log file' on a regular basis 'just in case' there is a problem.
