The only way that I know that this can happen is if the server crashes or 
is re-booted, without flushing memory to disk.  In other words, the user 
makes the changes, which are stored in memory.  Everything looks good. The 
server is re-booted or crashes, without writing the memory to disk.  When 
the server comes back up, the old version, which is still on disk, is now 
the current version.

Pretty rare, to say the least, but it has happened.

[U2] WRITE issues??






Has anyone seen a problem like this?  The user claims they changed a 
record, then checked to make sure it actually changed.  They find 
everything updated, but on checking days later, finds the data back in 
it's original state.  We've had several claims like this over the past 
week and a half and it's with different sets of programs.  Could it be a 
hardware failure?

TIA,
Pam
