Re: Restore Database Issue

I didn't find anything that said exactly when/how the trash was emptied, 
but what is it is done by a view re-build, either by UPDALL or when you 
open the view? If so, what if you "turn back time" (in my best 'Cher' 
voice) on the PC before you open the database locally? Just be careful not 
open an server based databases while the clock is turned back. Just a 
guess.

I guess another question would be whether the receipt was in the trash. 
The user would have simply deleted it and waited for the Soft Deletion 
process to clear it from the trash. So, if he had deleted it on March 1st, 

it should have at least been in the trash for that nightly save. SOMETHING 

should have been in the trash... haha
