This happens to me All the time.  I found a thread where you can open a
blank file, then open your file, then import the log files that post date
the last XAC file in order then save the file as a different name.
It keeps happening even so, but at least you dont have to manually re-enter
the data.

I thought saving before I closed would solve the problem, but It still
happens to some extent.  I might just try saving the file as a different
name each time. I would alternate them to prevent having 40 different files.
