Thanks. How do you save your settings to an SDHC?
Technology wise, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I have an AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED that will not auto-focus on my Nikon D7200 body. I have the D7200 set up for back button auto-focus. I have made sure both the camera body and the lens are set to auto-focus.

When I put this lens on my back-up D5300 body, also set up for BBF, the auto-focus functions correctly.

All my other lenses an AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G II, AF-S NIKKOR 35mm 1:1.8G, AF-S NIKKOR 50mm 1:1.8G and a TOKINA 11-16mm F2.8 (IF)DX II auto-focus correctly on the D7200.

The only thing I have done to correct this is to clean the electrical contacts on the lens with a Zeiss lens cleaning wipe.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can confirm the lens will focus on the D7200. My wife has the lens and I tried it on my old D7200. It works fine. Also Nikons website list it as compatible

Thanks I may have to do that, it's acting up again.
I can't figure out why it works fine on the D5300 but not the D7200, and why all my other lenses work fine on both bodies.

Not that this will solve your problem, but the latest updates for your D7200 are:
1) Distortion Control Data Version 2.018
2) Firmware Version 1.04

I'll try cleaning the contacts on the camera, so far I have only cleaned the contacts on the lens.
