5. My project is empty all of sudden! What happened?
When you start MAXQDA, you have the option to “Create and open new project” or “Open existing project”. If you choose to create a new project, you are asked to create a name for the file. If you then select another project file rather than creating a new name for your new project, you will overwrite the old project with the new empty one. For this reason, there is a dialog box that appears, double-checking whether you really want to carry out the action.
