Hum, I wasn't aware that you could do timestamp recovery with Online 4.x. To answer your question, no, you can not do selective restores of online logs in 7.1. You can restore the system and roll forward all logs or just restore the system and not roll forward any logs, but you must roll forward all logs once you start restoring logs. -- Melvin Mariney, Informix DBA e-mail: melvin.mariney2@bridge.bellsouth.com
