I worked with a cleint yesterday and saw thier reconstlst.txt had as the top line (ReconLst.txt is default)
*2008.dat
*2007.dat

I usually dont use this I thought since somone esle had done it I would try it. I tested it and thoes wild cards DO NOT WORK. I tested all COMBOS of wild cards ??2008*.* sa*2008.dat these did NOT work either.

the only wild cards I got to work with reconstlst.txt are as follows
sa2007*.*
sa2008*.*
tr2007*.*
tr2008*.*
me2007*.*
me2008*.*

to do all of 20xx sales you can type in SA20*.*
to do all Trasnfers in 20xx you can type in tr20*.* etc..
YOU MUST put each type in like above for each year you want reconstructed.

So when on tech calls check each persons schedule and if they are using a reconstlist check it and fix it.
