we found the file etc had all the data but the bleeding thing was what was corrupted by java or something so its a bit of a nightmare i have still got all the handwritten customer details from the other week so should have it all up and running in few days have a debt list printed out from thursday so i know who owes money etc just a bit of a ballache coz we have dumped a few more customers since then and it was all nicely organised which shoudnt be a problem reorganising it how it was,
i had it split into 30 days of work and iv now got 5 days worth of work back on the system so by end of day should have most the round organised again
lesson learnt i will be backing up religiously from now cant be arsed with this happening again in three years of using window cleaner pro this never happened to me so was a bit of a shock and unexpected.
cheers for all advice guys
