Hello again.

I have just had to restore a database from backup because the majority
of records in one table had "magically" become null.

Last Friday morning there were some 700 valid rows in the table but yesterday
all but 42 had become totally null.

Restoring from Thursday night's backup repaired things so I am
wondering what could have happened in between to cause this strange
phenomenon.

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen Davies
