Stuart, I'm not saying it didn't happen... but nothing in your statement makes me certain that this is just some sort of majic deletion. There are so many possibilities for mass data deletion that stem from bad code that it makes it hard for me to believe anyone when they say this has happened... (knock on wood). Just because it baffells someone, doesn't mean its majic. I get baffelled in one way or another most everytime I code something significant. Is there a interpret tag in your "site" somewhere? Is there a bad CR in your database. What do you mean by "Site" (you have to be weary of *any* code that can reach that database). Are the records *deleted* for sure, or have the values been replaced? What kind of commands do you allow? What platform/permissions. Again, I'm not saying some wierd bug didn't happen. I'm just saying that I've have never had any mass deletions.. and I'm anxiously anticipating it.. because at least I could troubleshoot for myself (and my system is backed up daily). I've done quite a lot of code for ppl and as far as I know, nothing like this has happened (that couldn't be explained). At any right, sorry that it happened, and I hope you had backups.
