Each time you close your teacher file, Report Card Maker will save a compressed archive copy of the file to the local hard drive. If your RCM Teacher file should become unusable, lost or otherwise inopperable or you just want to revert back to a previous version of your file, you can do so by choosing “Retrieve Archive” from the “Automatic Archive” option in the “Preferences” menu. Here's what to do:

(1) Launch RCM.

(2) Choose "Retrieve Archive" from the "Automatic Archive" option in the "Preferences" menu.

(3) Select the most recent listing of your file and click "Open".

(4) Examine the contents of the file (check to see that all the grades and comments are there).

(5a) If the file is not correct, close the file and repeat step 2-4 to find the correct file.

(5b) If the file is correct, choose "Save As" from the "File" menu to save the Archive as a regular RCT file.
