No problem. I've been through the ringer a time or two myself, so I know what it's like to have your data on the line. I do hope your able to recover your data.
I am not sure if they could locate the file by date because I'm more familiar with the encoding of windows files, but the odds are good that is visible to their recovery methods.
Also, I found that the file format is generally based on the size of the card: Under 2GB is generally FAT16 (also known simply as FAT) and over 2GB is generally FAT32. Which is the same for Windows files as well, the FAT16 just runs out of memory addresses.
I also found a link for some software you can try; but keep in mind any further tinkering could lose recoverable data...so only try this if you are comfortable with the risks
