data lost in modify mode

In my program, after I save a case and open to modify it again (through a menu program by invoking .pff files with modify mode), the data in check-boxes and rosters are lost. All other data are all fine. Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

Is it possible your dictionary changed from the time you collected data to the time you opened the data in modify mode? I would take a close look at your data and current dictionary.

That's impossible. I open it in modify mode right after I save the case. Nothing's changed in the dictionary. Also, it only happens with rosters and check-box questions, but not other type of questions at all.

Can you send me the application and partially saved data (before it's missing) to cspro@lists.census.gov?

I'll take a look at it if you send the application, dummy data (before data is missing), and instructions to reproduce the issue.
