Corel Draw 12 & X3 file problem

[speed6]

Dear all, i have a file which i have been working for almost a week and a half on and now all of a sudden corel crashed and now when i open this file on 12 it simply crashes and if i try and open it with the X3 it tells me the following " File K:/.......cdr contains an invalid object.

Than i have a selection to choose the following ABORT - RETRY - IGNORE

ABORT It just aborts the loading and thats it !

RETRY It crashes and Corel ARM laods up, tried selecting continue working but it still crashes

IGNORE It crashes and Corel ARM laods up, tried selecting continue working but it still crashes

Tried also the import command but still no go.

Is there some sort of utility to fix this issue please

Thanks for your interest in looking

Mybe is you attach the file in question or post it somewhere and some one could try and open it on there machine?
I am not sure if forum allows cdr atachments tho'.

Have you tried to open your backup file? Have you save it in increments in smaller portions just in case the worst happens, you have something to revert to?

At the end of the day on what I can't afford to loose, I save to another drive which in turn makes a back up copy of its own and again to my desktop.

I've been burned once, haven't let that happen again. It was because I was trying to do a book, heavy with large pictures, and just was asking more of DRAW than it could do, I ended up doing the project in Pagemaker because the book was 85 pages.

Yes tried opening the back up file but its still doing the same thing. No increment files as i have been working with corel for almost ten years now and i never had this sort of problem. I will try to upload it maybe some one can open it for me.

I have had the same problem on extremly large files and lost them. What a bummer. I asked this question years ago here and someone suggested using an 'import' of that file to a new file. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I hope it works for you.
