That's kind of what I want to hear. But a key table did change after the
decompile. I certainly didn't go in and amend it. Very odd, I know I can't
prove that decompiling screwed it up - at the moment - but was hoping that
if I could record the state of play before decompiling then I could do a
comparison.
