Data appearing in VI Logger task not showing up in database but exists on disk

[Manselle,Wayne]

Using VI logger lite 2, we ran a task that upon completion, appeared in the data selection subtree of the task much like successful data runs.  However, when one clicks on that data string, an error message stating that the task run selected cannot be found in the database is displayed.  Interestingly, when one chooses to not check another database, the times the task ran at are correctly displayed (9:26 - 9:29 am).  When viewing the database with the Historical Data module, the data does indeed not appear in the database.  When examining the raw files for the database on disk, a series of .cdpg and a .cdib file exist that have a creation time that matches the end time of the task (within 2 hundreths of a second).

My questions in this scenario are, how do I recover this data, and what exactly has occured?

Thanks!

Those look like Citadel 5 data types.

By the data string do you mean the name of the log?  Such as "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.mmm"?

As for why it is happening, I'm not sure.  Could you give us a screen shot of the error along with the VI logger environment?

In the lite edition, you should be able to view in excel and export to html.

Maybe someone has a crafty way of doing it, but there doesn't seem to be a method readily available.  I'm not very familiar with these file formats, but judging from this thread I don't think it is possible.
