I'm trying to get exact specification of its usage.
I think Bogdan meant that some System Restore options are known to overwrite files with older versions of that file. Eg on Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate you have the option 'Restore previous versions' and if Windows Backup is enabled it is easy to revert to an older version of a file. You might also want to check the location of the database file. If it is on Windows Vista or Windows 7 with UAC and the location is in the Program Files folder it could also mean that the actual database is in the virtual store folder in the user profile. Mark
