Well I have been working on this thing for 2 weeks now and just when I was about to make the final set of corrections to allow for updates and modifications.... I GET STUPID!
I neglected to add a clause to replace info for a specific review ID so the result was to replace all reviews with the info I was passing. Well Captain Jack will be happy as this means his products will get REALLY good exspousure.
I can restore a full backup of the Reviews files as of August 31, 2002, but this means I will need to completely re-enter most of the new info I had done for adding sections and other new details. This is a REAL bummer. If I had just done a simple backup of the data today.

Hi Jim
Sorry to hear that bad news.
Two points to ponder though:
1 - Remember, computers save us time...
2 - This way you get a second chance to make it even better! Think how much tighter the code will be!
Take care, and take your time!

Jim,
just remember this : your PC may beat you at chess, but it'll never beat you in kickboxing !

Lol...thanks guys. Hopefully my host will come through and restore a backup of the reviews file around (but before!) the time that it got whacked. If they do I will breath a sigh of relief.
Cheers,
Jim
