    Hi I have a similar/not so similar problem. My Code tab is there but, all my scripts are gone. I recently moved my database folder from one computer to another, everything copied over just fine except for my scripts are all gone. Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?

    If you still have the other computer, export your scripts and import them on the new one.
    Or
    Zip the application and send it to yourself.

    Unfortunately I dont have that computer anymore, I pulled the database folder out of a backup that I have (the original suffered a catastrophic crash). Is it possible that the scripts were not included in the backup? Which files are the ones that store the scripts? Is it not the .alb, .alm, .alx, .ddd, .ddm and .ddx?

    a full backup should have the
    .alb, .alm, .alx,

    If you have those files and the .adb you can put them in a new folder, open the workspace and export the scripts.

    If you're missing something, then find another backup and check it for the files.
