... except version 9.5 should be *.RX? -----Original Message----- From: Larry Wilson <lwil...@promesacgi.com> To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2017 17:06:24 -0500 Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - One last question, if possible
Cathy, IF you really want to confirm date, time and file size changes here is a sure method. Make certain that you have a current backup of your database. #1 - exit to the R> prompt #2 - R> dir *.RB? make not fo the date. time and file sizes #3 - R> Disconnect #4 - R> Set Multi Off #5 - R> Pack #6 - R> Dir *.RB? make note of the date, time and file sizes - they should have changed Reconnect to your database Hope this helps and gives you comfort.

The date and time does not change no matter what I do, or when I make any changes. The file sizes not changing is what concerns me most. I have not been creating new databases or tables, but regularly edit the data and create and/or edit reports….but still no file size change (or date change) at all. Hopefully, since I don’t seem to be losing my changed data, the static file sizes are not affecting the integrity of the database. But it would really ease my mind if I could find out how to fix it.

I don’t think you need to change the dates. When you disconnect and reconnect, the date/time will be updated to the time of connection. File sizes, on the other hand, should change as you manipulate the data and the database files are saved.

I am the only user so no one else in the database ever. I’m not sure what you mean by R:Base possibly considering the database as being out of sync, but I’ve had no problems accessing the database, making changes, etc., then having the changes (ones I’ve checked) still there after I’ve exited, updated the dates, then re-accessed. I do check my back-up drive periodically to make sure that all 4 of the data files are copied after I’ve forced a date change. Because I do manually update the dates and copy the files every couple of days, that should accomplish the same end result as your schedule task suggestion – it just takes me a few seconds each time (even if it is annoying to have to do this). That is a good thing, because I would have no idea how to create a schedule task. My tech guy set up Acronic True Image in the separate back-up hard drive, and I have periodically have problems with that working properly. I guess I just wanted to be assured that my database is still ok with my manual updating, especially since the file sizes do not change at all when I update them.

Also I would be careful about forcing a new date because R:Base may see this as the database being out of SYNC. The auto backup looking at dates may not backup up all 4 database rx files. I would suggest using something like a schedule task that would start R:Base and then copy all 4 files to a backup area. I did this in the past. I would copy the database files at noon (limited activity) and then at 5:00pm and then the normal daily backup at 11:00pm Buddy From:rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com][mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com]]On Behalf OfCathy Grimes Sent:Sunday, December 31, 2017 10:10 AM To:rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com] Subject:[RBASE-L] - One last question, if possible I hope it’s ok if I ask one more question that has been driving me crazy (as an end user, also the buyer of R:Base). I was so happy to have my only other main R:Base problem fixed by Razzak so quickly and easily. When I last upgraded to R:Base Extreme 9.5(32), the file Attributes suddenly stopped changing, i.e., the date modified never changes, and RB1 through RB4 never changes size (no matter how many rows I add or changes I make). Because I have auto back-up drive that backs up changes only, it will not back-up my R:Base data files unless I do it manually. I found a program that will automatically update the date changes to current (if I mark and select those each time), but it does NOT change the size of any of the RB1 through RB4 files. My data always seems to be there, but I’m worried that the file sizes are static. Thank you.
