I "lose" my "Specific List" items after a few uses. I will use a specific list a time or two and then go to use it again and get the message the list does not contain any rolling stock. Again, no rolling stock is or has been stored in that specific list. The specific list name, for example: "40 foot box cars" remains but when I open it there is no rolling stock in it anymore. I have Train Store but prefer to mostly use "Routes On/Off" which does not store any stock in the Trainset. When using AM or AG I make certain no rolling stock is stored.
How can this be corrected?
It takes some time to make these lists and I hate to lose them.

Dave,
This shouldn't happen, the lists are saved and don't "go away". But I believe you are experiencing this behavior. I can think of a couple things that might cause this:
1. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 or 8, maybe you don't have enough rights in the \Program Files\ActivityMaster folder for the lists to be saved. Make sure all users have all rights to that folder.
2. Otherwise, maybe some of your list names contain commas or quote marks (, or " or '). The way the language in which the software was written, Visual Basic, parses these, causes lists to break as soon as they encounter one of these becase they are used to "delimit" the lists. So make sure you aren't using those.
Please let me know if this helps or how you fare. I've kept my "specific lists" for years and never lot them.
