Corrupt Cookbook Files

I have a cookbook that will not work properly. Is there a way I can recover the recipes from it?

This happens when your computer corrupts your cookbook file. This most commonly happens if you leave the program running, and the computer crashes or restarts. Since the database file was open and in use at the time, it is susceptible to corruption. You have a few options.

REPLACE WITH YOUR ONLINE COOKBOOK

Remove the corrupt cookbook files from the My Collection folder on the computer to allow the program to fully function again.

If you added your cookbook to your MasterCook.com account, you could simply sync the online cookbook to your computer.

REPLACE THE CORRUPT COOKBOOK FILES ON THE COMPUTER

Or, if you have backup copies of your cookbook files, you can simply replace the corrupt cookbook files with the backup copies. Copy your cookbook files from the backup location to replace the corrupt ones as explained here: Adding Cookbook Files to MasterCook 24 – MasterCook Community

It's extremely important you backup your files on a regular basis. It very quick and easy. See these instructions. Your cookbook files are the .mc2 and .mcx files that are normally within the My Collection folder on your computer if you used the default installation option.
