When I create a recipie in BeerSmith, I save it to my recipes. After I close, Beersmith and reopen, the recipie is not there. No recipies are saving. All my previous recipes I had saved are gone. When I close Beersmith, I get an error message, Couldn't register ClipBoard Format. Any ideas? Thanks Joe

I would suggest a full data reset in this case (unfortunately):

For Version 3 to do a complete data reset:
- Close BeerSmith first
- Go to Documents and rename the BeerSmith3 directory to something like BeerSmithOLD
- Go to %APPDATA% (on Windows by typing into file manager toolbar) or on the Mac use the File Manager's Go->Library command to view that directory
- If you are in the correct AppData or "Library/Application Support" (mac) directory there should be another BeerSmith3 directory here which stores data
- Rename that BeerSmith3 directory to something like BeerSmithOLD (it has all of your backups)
- Finally restart BeerSmith and it should have a "default" install with default data
- Now if you wish you can go back and open the older BSMX files from the two directories mentioned above to import old
data - typically you do this with File->Open in BeerSmith and then copy/paste the data items from the open file to your Reicpe or other views
- If you were using BeerSmith 3.2 the latest data is in the %APPDATA%/BeerSmithOLD directory you renamed. For BeerSmith 3.0
it would be in the Documents/BeerSmithOLD directory
- Recipes are in the Recipe.bsmx file and other data in appropriately named other files such as Equipment.bsmx
- There are more details on working with BeerSmith BSMX files in the article below:

When I am in Beersmith, I can only create a recipie after clicking on the cloud. If I click on My recipies, the task bar goes grey and I can't create a new recipie or use any of the task bar (i.e. add folder,etc). Does that make sense? Thank you

When I go to open BeerSmith now, I am getting a messge:
BeerSmith: Another copy May be Running
-There is a file in your Beersmith data directory that indicates another copy of beersmith maybe using that data.
Is this contributing to the problem? thank you
