Thanks. I understand all that. but it's still going to be a lot of work (a
least a day of checking & cross-checking & fixing). I hope other users feel
they have the time.
I still don't think the GUI error messages are correct, since, as I wrote, I
get a message saying the database field is missing when it is optional in the
database, but has 'input required' on the form.
