I am a new user of Architecture 3000 and have now saved designs to the hard drive of my computer 3 times. Each time I lose them. I note that the manual says one must permanently save to a disk. Could that be the problem, and to what capacity disk do I need to save.?

Hi Val Sears,
When you opened your Punch program, Punch opened a file called "Untitled 1", then you opened your file called "myhouse.PRO" (for example). You worked with your file--> you saved your file and you tried to close the program and Punch asked "Save changes before closing?". Punch was asking about "Untitled 1" (empty), so if you answered "Yes" and then "Save as"--> "myhouse.PRO", then you saved an empty file.
However, there is a way to get your work back (probably). Go to your Windows Explorer--> Program Files--> Punch! Home Design - Platinum--> Data--> you'll find 25 files called ProDataX.dat (X will be a number ProData1.dat, ProData2.dat, etc)--> copy these files to other folder--> rename each file as *.PRO--> ProData1.PRO, ProData2.PRO, etc
Open your Punch program and open one by one the files ProDataX.PRO you created (File--> Open..etc). Probably, one of them is your file. Probably, you will recognize your real file checking the size of the ProData files
The size of the disk is not related with the problem above. I'd recommend to save permanently in your HD and if you wish, save your finished work in a CD
Let us know if you need additional help
