Garry,

No Mate, Sentinel on originally being loaded, save Profiles & Favourites CodePlugs under it's Sentinel Programme Folders.

I did try to save CodePlug in one of my Scanner Folders. and try to open it from there . . . . No Change.

Have Uninstalled and Reinstalled Sentinel a couple of times, even going as far as deleting all related folders . . . No change.

Try saving your profiles with out using dots (periods) in the folder or file names. Depending on your file/folder settings it can cause problems especially when a '.' is used at the end of the name. Best to use underscores between characters.

OK, that would rule out any older version problem

When you have the codeplug setup as you want it, are you going to FILE, SAVE AS then saving each PROFILE (codeplug) with a unique name?

When I first started using Sentinel, I tried to save the Original CFA CodePlug . . . . so
went to "File" - "Save As" - CFA Original

Started my scanning format, tried to save my setup as "My Scan List" so
File - Save As - My Scan List

So the 1st Saved CodePlugs in the Saved Folder were:
- CFA Original
- My Scan List.

So Mike . . . . yes have tried to save without using '.' dots

Had notice the CodePlug Save issue right from the start, as my CFA Original Data had been lost. tried different Saved Names, Tried using Dates (00-00-0000) with no success, regardless what CodePlug I tried to open, Sentinel would only open the last entry made.

I did contact Pacific Telecommunications and spoke to a 'David' in regards to a issue I had with GPS Scanning, which I found was a issue with my GPS data input . . . that issue I found, corrected and now resolved and now GPS Scanning is working fine so far.

In conversation, I did mention to David my issue with Sentinel, David recommended keeping the CFA CodePlug on one memory card, and My Scan CodePlug on another Memory Card and switch between the two as needed . . . so now I have Two Memory Cards - 'CFA Original Card' & "My Scan List Card".
