The 05 and 06 were in the same folder my inbox. yes oe did compact before the
loss. I notice it come up and I let it do it's thing. I realize now I
probably had way too much in there, if I knew this was going to happen I
would have been deleting some of it that I no longer needed. Now I am in the
predicament of loosing the most current stuff. I hope this can be fixed...
thanks for getting back to me so soon.
