Razzak, As Pete would say: "Now, you're asking them haaarrrd questions..."
With everyone out, including me, the timestamp is the same. When I first did this --yes, I was connected-- I had just connected and others were logged into the database on the network long before me. I switched this db to V8 over a month ago so I can't check 7.6 anymore. However, I get what you're saying. Thanks and by the way, your new pdf on converting to V8 is excellent and soooo comprehensive. Claudine -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of A.

Correct? Yes, I can tell from looking at the format <g>. The database was first connected at 7:07am. More rows were added and the data and index files were updated at 4:51pm. The data structure file was updated at 4:53pm. If you properly close and exit, the final date and time stamps will match. Is that database on a local machine or on a shared network drive? If on a shared network drive, are other users still connected? How was the display in 7.6? What date and time is displayed when DISCONNECTed and no one else is using the same database? That should give you some blue's clues! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
