For Jim Jensen Sorry I disappeared, didn't mean to dump you. Appreciated the comments etc. Never did resurrect that find data. So, went to a two month old backup [ made by H&B 2007 ] and the prog upchucked on the third disk. Thus back 5 months to data that the prog would accept: and re-entered the data for months 1-5. Just private stuff, only took two days!!!!!!!
But I do have the data back that was missing. Strange thing was that some data was there in banks and VISA, but the detail of any many minor charges went whoosh.
Still don't know the cause.
Thanks. John Hewitt, Malaga, Spain
