The organization has been trying to get a better server for years, but hasn't. My assistant was the first one to start backing up our database; but unbeknownst to any of us, she was only saving shortcuts and icons, not the actual data from the server. I invited an MBA student to come and teach me some about our Access database. She made a copy, but couldn't pull the information out to the copy without my logging in as administrator. Which I did.
And she deleted 3 years of all of the data for our shelter. Nearly 3,000 records with near-endless points of information.
The best computer recovery guy in the city says that it is not retrievable.
My weekend has been busy strategizing, but nothing resolved yet. This is a picture of my brain at the moment...

Ughhh.
Seems to be going around. Sounds like you might be able to identify with this story on CNN.

Thanks for the link, anonymous. I copied the article and distributed it to all of my staff.
