Ken

Everything that was done after the 31st is missing,.  This includes changes
to invoice forms showing the address.

I would agree with your that someone might have done a restore but don't
know why they would have.

The only reason for doing a restore would have been if they crashed the
server at the time it was shut down.

Since this was a small shop, the server was set up as a workgroup server and
the workstations had XP home.  The new company ghosted the hard drives.

I suggested that they use PCrelocator to move the programs from one XP Home
computer to the XP box as both machines were mirror images of each other
regarding programs loaded.

Thanks for the thought.

Will keep everyone updated as I get more information from the new
consultants.
