Thanks Javier, I re-read your earlier message and realised what was being done so I haven't done anything about it.
I have a summary almost ready to send about my new databases but I just want to wait a while longer to be as sure as possible about what's going on. Testing in a live situation is more realistic that trying to break the thing on purpose. I don't know what happened to my earlier message but the re-post obviously got through.
