Okay. I'll see about upgrading to 2.10.3 and check out that web site to read up on versions. I think what I may need to do is just recreate my changes outside of the version, which of course will take longer, but at least I won't risk losing anything. I had no idea versions were so buggy; I wouldn't have used them in the first place if I had. :/
Thanks, all, for the help; I really appreciate it! Cathy ----- Catherine E. Reinehr Webmaster & Publications Designer Huntingdon College 1500 E.

That's never a fun situation to be in with any technology... if your budget affords it, it might be cost effective to bring in a consultant for a short time to explore your predecessor's system and get you up to speed on it. To learn about versions, read this: http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/ZopeServices.stx#1-3 especially note the "Caveat: Versions and ZCatalog" which might be related to your problems (just guessing... we don't know if you're using a ZCatalog). > I went here (http://wiki.zope.org/ZODB/FileStorageBackup) to read up on > backups, but I'm afraid it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. We can't guess which parts don't make sense to you :) Maybe come back with more specific questions here or on IRC? The #zope channel on irc.freenode.net is often quiet, but there's a lot of knowledgable zope people in #plone and that channel is more active. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
