Thanks Ronni, I am in the process of trying that. The stored list does not show all versions, only the current one to which I upgraded. The "new" copy I have is a "foreigner" so may not work. How do I delete the existing application? Can not find that in my iPad UG. Many thanks Severin ( in sunshine, after the wonderful rain!)
