Many thanks, Fred, and I now discover that's in the manual. I know 
what I should have done!

I've applied that to the entry that has caused the apparent problem 
most regularly, and, indeed it's worked as you say. I'll apply the 
same cure to any future occurrences of the error.

Best wishes,

Peter.
