Thanks - that does help.

Initially I tried these steps except that I was using "Compare analysis" rather
than "Full analysis".  The "Compare analysis" doesn't work in this case - it
just appears to quickly traverse the positions but without any output to the
database of positions (a bug?!).  But the "Full analysis" does work.

thanks again,

Gordon
