Lost data from data collection file

I received 3 returned forms via email, double clicked them and watched the data immediately appear in my targeted dataset file. I just went to look at the data set again and it is completely empty and there are no forms in the form tracker. Any ideas what happened? thanks, Hali

Acrobat Collects Data into another PDF File. Really it just adds the returned files as attachments. It's possible that you didn't save this collection file before closing it. If you still have the returned emails you can re-collect the data, but be careful, you can add the same data twice and Acrobat doesn't complain about it.
