At the top of the screen on the right is a "Read Logfiles" button. Click on that and load the logfiles (may take a while). When it has finished click on the logfile value that it has read and assuming it is correct allow it to replace the erroneous value by clicking on OK in the dialogue that appears. It automatically replaces the value and updates the alltime.ini values.
The Wiki needs updating!!
Thanks, that worked for all but one. The log file has erroneous data and if I try to input the correct figure in the "Record Value", I get an error.

Could you screen shot the page where you edit the value before you send it and get the error.

What locale are you using, the date format is unusual in that it has a dot after the month - "Oct. 2021"

Not totally abnormal (the NL locales have the dot, indicating it is an abbreviation) but unusual in English locales afaik yes.

Your right, it's unusual for English locales. If like to know which one is being used so I can test against it - though I have found the issue, I'd like to test it against this locale.

I’m in Australia and I just followed the format in the other entries.

Hi again, any thoughts on the error and how to fix it?
No rush as it's a busy time of the year.
Merry Christmas to all!

It's fixed in the next release, but that will now be after Christmas.

I still seem to have some rainfall "gremlins" in the works. I can make the adjustments to the records but it is not changing in some of the screens.
I manually edit the entry in Record Value & Record Timestamp, but when I return the entry has returned to the original value? Am I making the adjustments in the right place and is it correct to manually edit?
Also, I notice there are errors in the Today/Yesterday screen but I am not sure where, how or if I can alter these?

You cannot edit the today/yesterday "records"?
You can edit "Todays rainfall" on the day the error occurs, that will get the total correct but not alter any records, they have to edited separately.
After using edit "Todays rainfall", do not be tempted to try and adjust files yourself, it will mess things up. You must wait until you have had a day rollover, then do a second data clean-up.

Thanks Mark.
I understand the today/yesterday advice. Is there a Wiki "how to" guide that is available so as to not keep pestering the forum users?
Thanks,
George
