ssprengel,
I have the "write settings to .xmp" set in preferences, but did not specifically save metadata. Thats interesting about the date of the raw file. Is that issue with the metadata, or with the creation of the file in regards to windows creation time. I know she was moving files around but that shouldn't change the metadata. May have her check her date time in camera too. I am transferring just the xmp's to her through an FTP.
