lol
well.. i doubt there's a solution either
possibly a back-up you made of the workspace?
i dunno if a windows restore point would work - jimmy would
i think your method of rolling contracts is the real issue.
when i insert a new symbol, i always use the pattern 81 (i think), which
means
it doesn't expire.
well.. that's not entirely true. actually, my futures symbols are typically
setup as 'stocks'.
(for performance reasons)
but the result is the same - they don't expire

Subject: Re: Unexpire Symbol?
This is where you put a bullet through your head.
Using 2000i, I have been saving my ES and Russell charts for years. Each
chart contains hundreds of rectangles, ellipses, trend lines, etc. The
only
problem is that when a symbol expires, I end up losing all the drawing
objects on the charts because the symbol itself gets renamed (ESU7 turns
to
ES200709). I have avoided this problem by changing the symbol settings and
not letting the symbol expire, thus ESU7 never turns into ES200709 because
I
change the expiration date to 9/20/2013. Well, I forgot to do this with
ESU7
and now my charts are useless. When I reload them with ES200709, the
drawing
objects do not come back up. I tried to rename the file back to ESU7
without
luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael Maldonado
