Partial Corruption and Merging

[Klyndt]

What I ended up doing is copying and pasting every entry from the back 
up to the new file.  It took about 4 hours.  There should be a way to 
export part of a file from date A to date B and have that be able to be 
imported.  It should work like the CSV export, but for native files.

Thanks for your help anyway.
