Just for info Ziggy's cab is all over the net and I'm glad that the forums and sites are giving him credit

This worked for me as well, so thanks.
Also, just as an FYI...I may be the only person who didn't think of this, but I figured I'd put it out there just in case. When you go to back up your texts for the purpose of correcting the dates, make sure that you back up
ALL the messages - including your Sent messages, even though we know the dates are correct on the Sent messages. Reason being, when you tell PPCPimBackup to "Delete all existing messages from the Database", it actually does mean "ALL". I (stupidly) thought that if I just backed up my Inbox (and not Sent messages) that it would only delete/restore the Inbox. Turns out that while all of my incoming texts now have the corrected 2010 dates, I no longer have any of my Sent messages.
At the end of the day, it is what it is and I'll live.
But just in case this hadn't crossed your mind before backing up and correcting your text message dates, I hope it helps!
