Thanks!

I don't know about Chemstation CDS (C.01.07). But maybe this will jog some memory for someone else. In Chemstation... Read about the Global Update Dialog Box and other Global dialogues in the Chemstation help...

Global Update Dialog Box
When you select Initial Calibration / Global Update, the Global Update dialog box lets you change the following parameters for the entire quantitation database.
Shift Retention Times
Prompts you to shift the times by a constant x minutes or scale them by x percent. Put an m after the number to specify a constant shift (in minutes) or a % after the number to specify a percentage shift. For example, if all compounds are now eluting 2 minutes later than the expected retention time, enter 2m as the retention time shift. Shift Retention Times affects the Retention Time Information in the compound database.
Set Extraction Windows
Prompts you to resize by x percent or by x minutes. Resize Extraction Windows affects the Retention Time Information in the compound database.
Set Curve Fit Type
Prompts you to select a curve fit. Affects the Calibration Information.
Set Identification Method
Prompts you to select an identification method for the target ions in the extraction window. Although globally done here, it is much more likely done compound by compound in the database. See also Quantitation Parameters.
Set Subtraction Method
Lets you specify the method for calculating qualifier ion ratios: Average of first and last; lower of first or last; no subtraction; extended area quantitation (use only with quantitation by peak area). See also Target Compound Identification.
Set Other (via command)
Lets you use commands to make global changes to other parameters. For example, to change the units of concentration to "ug/L" for all compounds, enter Amt_Units$="ug/L" and press OK. The units of concentration for all compounds in the quantitation database are then updated.
Any quantitation database variable can be updated in a similar manner. GETCOMPOUND and GETRESULT contain a list of applicable variables.
