For me it does. I often want to know or do things like: - When did I first create a file? - Return all versions of file xyz so I can find the version I want? - On which of my multiple machines did I store a certain old version of file 'abc'? - Grep through all old files called x*yz for the occurrence of pattern abc. (this is particularly useful to find deleted emails that may be present in an older INBOX) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
