Got it...I have the water I use listed in my ingredients, but I can not drag into recipe or right click and add to recipe. Shouldn't I be able to do this ?

Thanks

Under "My Ingredients" select "Water" Then at the top you will see your water which you have added - either right click on it and select "Add to Recipe" or simply drag it into your recipe.

That is what I thought...however right click and add to recipe takes me back to the chemistry table and drag and drop does nothing. Should I re-download program ? And if so will all current data be saved ?

Thanks

After seeing so many of my clients lose data (I design & repair small networks) because of inadequate backup systems I always would say look to see where it is saving data by checking under "Edit" "Preferences" on the menu then make a new directory called BTPBackup in the "My Documents" folder. Normally it will simply uninstall and leave the data behind but being sure saves much time and money... Or you could download teamviewer and I could do it for you....

Re-download did not fix problem....I guess not that big of a deal, minor annoyance, I just like things to work the way they are supposed to.
Thanks for your he;lp

The *.rsd file contains your individual settings which is often beneficial to delete when upgrading (except one has to redo them) but you recipe files will remain in your default folder even if you uninstall BTP. Bear in mind 2.0 will be released in the next few weeks so I personally would wait - but it is your choice...
