If it's the monthly rainfall record, then you have to edit the daily totals in dayfile.txt, the others you edit using the all time record editor.

I think if you have installed into Program Files on Vista and you run as administrator then Vista uses the Cumulus folder for data files, as on XP. If not, then it puts them in your User data.

The monthly and annual totals are calculated from the daily totals in dayfile.txt at startup, so there must be a problem with your dayfile.txt file. Upload it here and I'll have a look at it, if you can't work out what the problem is.

If you've been running sometimes as administrator and sometimes not, you will have two dayfile.txt files in different places, so that would definitely be a problem!

It still sounds to me like you have a problem with dayfile.txt - you may have some days in the dayfile.txt under User, from when you were not running as administrator?

Always Incio windows as an administrator, with automatic start of Cumulus, so sometimes if you manually start began as an administrator and others (I suppose) as a user

What is important now is that the interface of the program say the current amount in mm, it is possible to do it manually?

Best regards, thanks

I found this.......juas

As I said, you've got two dayfile.txt files, one in "C:\Archivos de programa\Cumulus" - this is the latest one, from running as administrator. The other is in "C:\Usarios\Juan\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Cumulus", dated yesterday, which will be from when you were running as non-administrator. You need to merge the two files.

With Vista, it's definitely better if you don't install in Program Files , as it says in the readme.txt.

If you reinstall somewhere else, it won't download the old data from the logger automatically, you will need to edit today.ini to change the timestamp to where you want to download from.

The monthly and annual totals are calculated from the daily totals in dayfile.txt. Still.
