Hi Simon. Thanks for the info. I have dealt with Justin and Oliver over the last couple of years, mostly with Konxise. They seem like helpful and nice guys.

Foxfix seems to be working in my early trials. I am not really looking at it to find problems as such. I am looking at using it to fix minor table header corruptions and related issues automatically at end-user sites.

Thanks again.

Jos
