If you have a backup copy of the two PLANR32 files and wish to restore them, you simply need to copy them back to their original locations.


Each version of Hallmark Card Studio stores these two files in different locations. Here are the locations for all our versions of Hallmark Card Studio:


Hallmark Card Studio 2005:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sierra\Planner


Hallmark Card Studio 2006:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative Home\Hallmark Card Studio 2006\Planner


Hallmark Card Studio 2007:
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Hallmark\Hallmark Card Studio 2007\Planner

Windows Vista - C:\ProgramData\Hallmark\Hallmark Card Studio 2007\Planner


Hallmark Card Studio 2008:
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Hallmark\Planner

Windows Vista - C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Hallmark\Planner

Hallmark Card Studio 2009:
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Creative Home\Hallmark Card Studio 2009\Planner

Windows Vista - C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Creative Home\Hallmark Card Studio 2009\Planner


Note: You will replace the <USERNAME> with either your login name or possibly "Owner". Each computer varies on how it was configured. So, you may have something else that needs to be inserted for the <USERNAME>.
