Hi Gerald,

    You were saying:

I have done this several times myself, and the result is always the same: out
of date order recovery.

GM> I had thought about using a text editor to physically move
GM> the messages into their correct chronological order (a
GM> very labor intensive task)

An almost impossible task for a text editor since the file is binary and
intimately linked to the .sqb, .sql and .sqi files.

If such exists it would be welcome here as well.  I've never seen anything to
do that though.  SQREIDX.EXE is Squish's rebuild index utility, but I don't
think it will change the date order.

Best regards,
Marc
