The most common causes of corruption are:-
- Faulty networking hardware (if sharing your file over a network)
- Power cuts, surges or failures
- Not exiting Cashbook when it’s not in use
The best ways to prevent corruption are to:-
- Connect the PC to a UPS (Un-interruptible Power Supply)
- Exit the software when you aren’t using it
- Do a “Repair & Compact” (from the “File” menu) at least once a month (or more frequently if used daily)
- Keep your software as up-to-date as possible. You can download the latest version here
