 * Tried to download the database of a form with about 40 entries (using Ninja forms
   lite) into an xls file. It said the data was corrupt.
 * Then I noticed that the ninja forms plugin needed updating. Ran the update…and
   now the forms no longer show up in the dashboard. They have disappeared.
 * Where would I find it? What filename should I look for?
 * I hope the data is not lost!
 * Thanks.

 * Hey,
 * Deactivate and then reactivate the plugin. Let me know if that gives you any 
   forms.
