Hi Todd -- thanks for the advice. I do already have versions saved which still work as intended, I just can't see any difference in the config! I don't particularly want to have to go back and retype anything, but if it's necessary I can do so. I was just hoping there was an easier solution ;-) It just seems really strange behaviour, because I didn't change any config at all -- I just pasted some text in from another document! Thanks again for the good advice Meri -- "Because it's not *always* the quiet ones" <shameless plug> http://blog.meriwilliams.com/ </shameless plug> -- "Because it's not *always* the quiet ones" <shameless plug> http://blog.meriwilliams.com/ </shameless plug>
