That file stores client rate exceptions in 16-bit Timeslips databases.  If you rely on Timeslips to do your billing, you might want to consider upgrading as your version is about 17 years old.  

This was really helpful.  Thank you.  I was able to use an older, non-munged, tsrtexc.dat file that appears to have solved the problem.  We may have to re-enter a few rate exceptions but that's no big deal.  I'm pretty careful about backing up and it looks like something happened in 2011 to corrupt the file.

On upgrading, I considered it but there's really nothing in post 1998 versions of Timeslips that I need and no compelling reason to do so.  I might have been persuaded to upgrade but the subsequent versions of the program actually limited functionality by offering small firm versions that didn't have all the features I had with Timeslips 8 (if memory serves -- yes, it has been a while).

Thanks again.

Hello Bob White,

Thank you for taking the time to respond in this forum.  I see your personal email in my inbox and will reply to you there.  All the best!

I would suggest that everything that was in v8 is in the newer versions plus a lot more. In addition you would be running a supported version in a supported environment. If you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8 Timeslips v8 is more likely to have issues. If you are running Windows XP then your computer needs an upgrade for security reasons alone.
