Update: the DNA Master file looks fine when my student opens it on her computer. However, when she sends it to me and I open it, I see incomplete notes. We tried merging the files on her computer in case sharing/sending the file was the issue, but her annotations on the merged file were still incomplete, even though the original file looks fine when she opens it on her computer. Ideas? I have students keep copies of their gene calls on a separate Word file along with the evidence they used for the calls, and my student sent that to the students who are looking over the merged files. That way, they can make a decision on the gene calls even if her notes are on a Word document instead of DNA Master. So, we are working around the issue but I'd like to know if there's any way to fix the file. Thanks again! Miriam Miriam Segura-Totten Hi again Welkin! One set of annotations in my merged file shows up incomplete, cut off in the same spot for all genes: Notes from 3rd TRY.Francis47.Louisa Gille.dnam5 : Original Glimmer call @bp 39056 has strength 13.75 SSC: 37338-39056 CP: yes SCS: both Gap: 3 bp gap Blast: I unpacked and repacked (no files missing but the archive had more files than the example so I removed the extras) and asked student to re-enter the notes into a new blasted file, and neither of these things worked. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Miriam

mirisegura	I am merging student files and it looks like two of those files are corrupted. I had students re-parse and save the files and they're still corrupted. Any ideas of how to fix these files? Thanks!

Hello, One of my students is suddenly getting the error "TbRecentfiles: Dataset not in edit or insert mode" when she tries opening files (see attached screen shot). This student also had a corrupted file when we did the merge (her genes didn't show up on the merged file), so she is weary about working on a new file with this error popping up (she thinks it was popping up when she parsed in preparation for merging) in case this is what's messing her file up. Thoughts? Thanks! 223Kb

Hello, I was able to merge the files without any errors, but once my students started looking over the merged file, they noticed that there were genes that did not have any notes for annotation (or some that were missing notes). We think the missing genes are all from one particular student. Is this also due to a corrupted file, and if so, will I need to look at the missing gene graphics to determine this? Thanks! Miriam

mirisegura	Thanks for the suggestion, Lynn, but my students already tried that and it didn't help (they all start DNA Master this way now).

mirisegura	One of my students getting the Glimmer fail message checked with our IT and she has admin privileges in the Windows environment, so it's not that. All my students using Macs are using Windows 10 VM and only some are having issues…not sure what the problem is. I'm going to have IT install the software on a couple of the desktops in our classroom in case some students never figure this out.
