Karin, Clearly the problem is your system clock. Computers need to know what time it is, and your frozen computer from a couple of days ago "forgot" the current date.
I'm guessing you are using a Mac. Go to the control panels, find Date and time, and reset the date and time to current. This will not solve the problems that may have been introduced by your recover process. But at least you will have the correct date in your computer. To solve the bigger problems, it looks like you need someone knowledgeable to some into your office to determine how to best protect your data investment. I think there are local people on this list that can help. Marshall On 8/27/56 6:54 AM, "Missoula Urban Demonstration Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello out there.
