Process Mapping - Forums

I was wondering if someone could help me out with something. I am running some statistical data off of our current folders that runs off a timer once a day and updates a SQL table. I had to modify some dates within the Metastorm SQL tables by literally going into the table and modifying the date right there so that data would update properly. So far I am fine except for the fact that because I manually went into the Metastorm SQL table and changed some dates, my timer that reads those dates that I changed does not work/capture my changes to the dates. The only way it works is if I go into the specific folder and perform some sort of action on the folder and then the timer will work and read my changed dates. I could manually go into the folders and perform some action, the only problem is that there are thousands of folders that I need to do this to and it will take me forever. Is there a quick solution to this?
