Joanne,

I have the "dates", because I **put** them there; that is, I typed the date
I updated my NOTES just above where I began typing the notes, Like this:

Updated: June 12, 2003

"Donna Marie XXXXX was born XX 18, XXXX........."

I check with the person about new things every so often, perhaps once a
year....

I have NO idea, why my "working" file got "lost".... and I'm not sure if I
***DARE*** delete those others....the *extras* were probably acquired by the
program asking me to pick a name for the file....

Gateway's "Go-Back" has saved my neck at other times, too. I think you can
purchase it, if it didn't come on your computer, but I wouldn't swear to the
truth of that, on the nearest stack of Bibles!

PAX
