Okay, I inadvertantly set the date on my computer forward one month - a real oops. I discovered it just a few minutes later, when I checked the statistics plot in BOINC. Only the active WU was affected. Immediately realizing what had happened, I set the computer date correctly. But now I have a data point plotted in the statistics for Rosetta at July 13. I RESET the project, and the newest data point is now back in June - but the July data point is still there. Is there anything I can do to correct the plot and eliminate the errant data point? - Thanks.

There was no need to reset the project in the first place.

You could've simply updated the Rosetta project and the point would probably have gone away. Try that now.

Else you can exit BOINC, navigate to your BOINC directory and edit the statistics_*.xml file for that project. Take out the point far in time. Save the file (just save, not Save As...) and restart BOINC. Point gone.

I didn't mention it, because I forgot, but I did try to reset the project first. I just tried that again - no change. So I edited the point in the .xml file. That worked fine. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
