I should have added: But it would easy enough for you to test.

I made ABSOLUTELY no such statement. I repeatedly said RESTORE,
RESTORE. You're the one who keeps bringing up the TOTALLY ERRONEOUS
practice of copying Q files, rather than using the backup/restore
procedures.

NOTHING that I wrote said "copy over". I, in several sentences, said
RESTORE.

And the appropriate fileset to restore from is the one with the most
recent QDF file.

Danbrown - relax! I said 'hypothetical a while back on these subsequent
questions!

I was just curious**IF** one had a mish-mash of .qdf and .idx files with the
same filename what the implications might be. As John Pollard suggested, I
might try it myself using some copies of my own files just for the hell of
it.

(I keep daily backups of all my Q data files for 3 months, so for me, it's
easy to set up such a test scenario.)
