Data not being saved to EEPROM

I'm trying to use the emulated EEPROM on the b-l475e-iot board... I'm following the example from X-Cube-EEPROM, and everything looks ok... when it goes through storing values and then reading them back, everything matches... but if I try to read the data at startup, I get an EE_NO_DATA error.

uint16_t VirtAddVarTab[NB_OF_VARIABLES];
uint32_t Index = 0;
__IO uint32_t ErasingOnGoing = 0;
uint32_t VarDataTab[NB_OF_VARIABLES] = {0};
uint32_t VarValue = 0;

    Perhaps don't EE_Format(EE_FORCED_ERASE); every time through?

    You're right, that shouldn't be there, but I'm seeing the same result. I had been trying to save values as floats instead of uint32 but it was failing, and I thought formatting might help and I forgot to take it out.

    You could perhaps inspect the memory with the STM32 Cube Programmer to confirm there is content in the sectors used by the EEPROM emulation.

    Not sure why it wasn't working before, but everything looks like it is saving ok now.
