One and all,
Firstly,
Let me thank you all for your efforts to date. No doubt you all have
other things on your plate and I appreciate the fact that you have
been able to set aside some time for me.
Secondly,
I went in to the client yesterday (who by the way has now seen the
light re a UPS) and found that most of the files had reset to the
proper date!!!! So 3 data files out of 25,000+ still had a 1963 or
earlier year and I used File Buddy to fix them (Larry the cheque is
in the email). Some of the preference files in the System Folder were
01/01/1904 but launching their parent applications fixed that.
What happened? The only thing I know for certain that happened over
the weekend was that Restrospect ran its usual backup (perhaps that
reset the modified date flag??).
Anyway the data is fixed now and we are looking at a UPS (and a
Server X based solution) to try and prevent things happening again.
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you but I had to see some
mates off (they are on their way to to a little party George W and
Tony Blair are holding somewhere to the west of Pakistan).
Regards,
Mark (}-;
