    Hi Methuselah, thanks for getting back to me on this.
     
    You could check out if you have any incompatible characters by running a bad file check.

    Hi Lusil,

     

    Thank you for that.

     

    I'd be pleased if you were willing to raise it but am happy to do so myself if it's simpler for you.

     

    Kind regards, Bernard
