Have I screwed up my league file?

Tonight I was getting ready to run my league sim, and as usual I went to retrieve team exports first. But instead of clicking the "import all teams" button, I accidentally clicked "Finish Today" and advanced the league one day.

Knowing that I didn't have everyone's export, and wouldn't be able to get them now since I'd moved the league date. I went to my manager home pages and checked for updated league files, thinking I could just download my file from my server and start 'yesterday' over again. After I got the file installed, sure enough I was back on the correct date, but now the player ID's have somehow gotten scrambled. Every team roster is filled with incorrect players. Clicking on any player's link brings up a different player's card.

My last complete save is from about three sims back. Am I stuck with no other option than to fall back to that file now?

This is what I get for running my sim at the end of a screwed-up Monday, while exhausted.

I don't know, but I'd suggest asking Tony M as he seems to have a good handle on the db files.

EDIT: If you have a backup of the league from even the beginning of the season you could try using it and then updating through the game. You might lose files like news that way, but it might end up being your only option.

Thanks for the help. Right now your suggestion looks like the best solution.

The league members would end up having the news that I was missing for that intervening period, which would okay.
