Narrative:

My ewr supervisor alleges a captain and I took off over gross weight allowable according to computer self-generated data retrieved during an audit. I stated we did receive a #2 accuload for runway 26 which showed us within takeoff parameters. Supervisor states the load planning computer only printed a #1 accuload for runway 15L at iah. I replied that I am only recalling the situation from memory and that I do not have the advantage of all of the paperwork before me. I know for a fact another flight the day after us was in the same situation and that the captain told me they did in fact receive a #2 accuload for runway 26 after initially receiving a #1 accuload for runway 15L.
