My logbook stopped logging any flights after I deleted one entry. Is there anything I can do to make it work again?

Get Lamont Clark's logbook editor and use it to open up your logbook.  Use this to repair anything that looks scrambled and then save.  Before you start paste a copy of your logbook to some place safe so you have a backup copy if you need one.

Hopefully this will fix your problem.  I do not know what version this link is to, it maybe for v1, there is a v2 over at Avsim, but as always lately, the Avsim library is having problems

I use this to add, modify, delete and anything else to the logbook, I never use the FSX logbook function.

as it was said to me sometime ago you can't delete any entry but the last one or the log book stop working.don't know why but that's a fact.When it happen to me i deleted everything and began again and that was a bummer.It might be a good idea to give a try to the external log book.You have nothing to loose but time to learn how to use it.

the logbook in FS has had problems since I started flightsimming with FS95. I always suggest people using a spreadsheed program, or someother way of logging their time

Thanks very much for your help. I downloaded the logbook editor and everything works fine now.
