With a .txa 1. work can be recovered when the .app and .bpp are corrupted 2. Importing procedure by procedure self checks at the procedure level 3. Re-creating the .app by importing the .txa probably optimizes the .app file and almost certainly reduces it in size by a large amount. Maybe increasing the speed of opening the .app and reducing needed resources? Like packing and re-keying a database. Certainly makes it more robust. 4. You can 'get at' the .txa , see what's going on and make manual corrections and patches. Frankly I think that the .txa is what the .bpp should have been. ( Why not do it with the dictionary too, every time it produces a backup) Yes, .txa only when doing the autosave and creating the .bpp

Frankly I think that the .txa is what the .bpp should have been.

I mention this because now and again when things go wrong the app and backup both get corrupted and the work is lost.
