Any way to recover results after a crash?

Hi,

This might sound silly as I had no idea about the -preserve- command until I started looking for a solution.

So I was bootstrapping for an entire day and left my PC for only an hour to come and find my results had churned out but Stata is not responding. Tried everything I know but now since it's a crash, is there anyway to recover the lost results? I can't stand bootstrapping another entire day. Any help would be very much appreciated.

EDIT: I saved the .tmp file from my temp folder. No idea how to use it. Can it help?

This is just a guess. Try renaming the .tmp file .dta and see if you can -use- it.

Thanks, but it didn't work. Had to redo this ultimately.

Well, lesson learned! Always going to keep log files now.
