Our system is a small database system written in VB and SQL, keeping all the data in SQL. It has a backup utility that backs up to the files mentioned. The 'restore filelistonly' works very well...thank you for the tip. I have most of my background in VB, VFoxpro and MUMPS. Little by little with SQL. The change logs for most of the work done last year disappeared with the last system-invoked restore. Although they don't show in the filelistonly query, I am sure I can get the chain linked back into the database somehow.

Thanx again !
