I found and removed the offending section of the dictionary.(I have been
piecing it together from various other dictionaries ni order to support all
of our equipment) So I no longer have the one that caused the problem.(was
more concerned about restoring service...) If it happens again I will be
sure and save the dictionary that causes it.
Thanks,
Erik
