Not sure if anyone has seen this before but I think it may be a bug:
Software is PPC 1.10.16, Logbook Pro 1.10.40, Windows Vista.
Everything was working fine until I recently tried to sync data from the PPC that included entries going over the month end, ie I had entries spanning 24th May to 1st June.
The sync took place ok, but on clicking finish after the sync completed I was presented with a completely empty database in Logbook Pro. Somewhat alarming as I have nearly 8000 hrs of data!!! I closed Logbook Pro - which then updated the PPC with correct totals for all the reports on the PPC, but deleted all the synched data from the PPC.
Opened Logbook Pro again - immediate message saying data file was corrupt and I should restore a backup. On selecting OK, Logbook Pro closed immediately with no opportunity to restore a backup. This happened every time I tried to open Logbook pro. Fortunately I keep a synched copy of the MyLogbook.lbk file, and synched copies of weekly backups on another computer, so I copied that file back, overwriting the corrupted data file and Logbook Pro opened normally with all my old data.
I have since found that If I deleted either all the entries from May from the PPC, or deleted the single entry from June, then the sync takes place without a problem.
It appears therefore that you need to make sure you don't enter data spanning one month to the next into the PPC and then try a sync.
Hope this info might help save someone else having a minor heart attack!!
Cheers
