Thanks all for your help. All that was required was for the computer to have a rest. After trying for hours to get it working, I finally turned the computer off for the night. Next morning, the rotten thing worked correctly.

I am assuming that my NT box must have been caching the old files.

Parameters will not pass to the form and even setting up a parameter object, initialising a string parameter from the first modal form, this too seems to lose the just passed parameter and leaves a null string by the time it reaches the third form.
