Thanks Gary.
Yeah, that looks like the only alternative....create a new file.
I have a couple years of data local in one minute points in several
files of 65,500 data points. I will need to create a new file for
each in each time frame needed. The current data set will be updated
with the one minute and I will have to manually update created longer
time frame files with this data.
Would be alot easier if they had left it the way it was, I think.
They probably have good reasons to make the change.
