All good :)

No it seems not, only a copy and paste action on my part. But it seemed to be
ok to do.

Done .. I agree both bad and dupe set to none now..

Coolio thanks for doing that Wilfred :)

Noted thanks.

It was a bit of a process to do so, but yes, I started over and I think I may
be up and running with things starting to work. Will be able to advise more
in next 24 hours - it's been a bit of a process to get to this point but I'm
a persevering chap!

OK

No just a snippet of one of the many areafixes that were seemingly being
acted on but not sent back as a reply. I am waiting on a few Zone 21 nodes to
test this out again as I type this reply. Hopefully it will work soon.

Best, Paul
