I did mean to say that we let filemaker do its own dumping and such... I was just explaining what I thought the backup does (stops itself etc) Anywho...we're golden! Your suggestion to use the current data files, and replace only the global file worked like a charm! Thanks a ton...and hey, you mind answering that lady who is so anxious to buy already....jeesh. ;-) Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawn Hogan" <shawn@digitalpoint.com> To: "Optigold ISP List" <isp-list@optigold.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 7:02 PM Subject: Re: [Optigold ISP] Preferences Wiped Out!
