Hi, I would like to confirm my understanding of time stamps in order for me to know which web file to use.

Situation:

A participant completed an online task 3 times (instead of once). Here are the three files that I see on the server:

VPTpartnerfinal_1083_13-10-03-05-13-15-847.iqdat	43433	10/03/13 - 17:13:15
VPTpartnerfinal_1083_13-10-03-05-23-30-816.iqdat	43435	10/03/13 - 17:23:30
VPTpartnerfinal_1083_13-10-03-05-33-07-455.iqdat	43427	10/03/13 - 17:33:07

The first was "saved" at 5:13, the second at 5:23 and the third at 5:33 - if I understand correctly.

The local time of each file however is as follows :

1. 13:01:41

2. 13:01:31

3. 13:00:50

Here's what I think happened - correct me if I'm wrong. Somehow three windows opened, thereby creating three distinct files with the time stamps of 13:01, 13:01, and 13:00. The participant completed the task three times - once in each "window" thereby creating three web data files.

My question: I want to use the file associated with the FIRST time she completed the task - I'm inclined to use the file that was saved on the server at 5:13 (but created and NOT the file that was created at 13:00 (and saved on the server at 5:33). Am I correct?

Thanks in advance,

Stéphane
