1340611	2013-05-10 12:07:00	I was adding to my catalog of movies, 763 entries in all, working in list view. When I saved; which I do frequently, an entire column disappeared! The dates of release: except for 6 random entries that is. Proving that it is not systematic. I have tried everything that I can think of without success. When I manually reenter the dates, they disappear as soon as I move to the next field, or entry. Always returning to "0:00" I have done a lot of work since I last 'saved as'. It just occurred to me to check the columns formatting because "0:00" just wasn't right. It had changed. !!!Not my doing!!! Changed it back all the data is still there:) I have 'saved as' to 3 different drives. Could a "Save as" be automated by any chance? Does anyone know of a Windows7 64bit compatible database that can import my catalogs list view? Entry's contain more information than the card view can handle.	Vince (406)

Sounds like your Date/Time field got interpretted as a Time field instead of a Date field. Another option for your data is MSAccess (which costs extra), but it can do pretty much anything with any volume of data, and is very good at recovering from data storage errors / power loss / whatever. Entries are saved as soon as you complete each line of data, without you needing to manually save.	Paul.Cov (425)
