Expanding the information in the FAQ: [[FAQ#How_do_I_correct_my_all-time_.28or_monthly.29_records.3F]], you can update the values stored in '''monthlyalltime.ini''' by choosing ''all time monthly records'' from the '''Edit''' menu in Cumulus. This is a text editor, and works best when at full screen. By clicking the appropriate buttons, you can get Cumulus to display the extremes found by looking through all the data available in [[dayfile.txt]] for the selected month in all years, and all the data available in [[Standard_log_files|Standard log files]] for that month in all years. Click the Help button on that screen for detailed instructions on how to copy figures across from log to log or to directly edit them on screen.
Please read [[Correcting Extremes]] page for full information.
 
=== Editing monthlyalltime.ini outside Cumulus ===
 
It is unlikely that you need to do this, given the functionality of the in-built editor for both Cumulus 1 and recent builds of MX. If you cannot find the file (in your Windows installation) see FAQ [[FAQ#I_can.E2.80.99t_find_my_data_files.21]].
 
'''Tips''' -- take a copy of the original log file before you work on it outside Cumulus.
