Matt / Kyle,

Thanks for your fast replies.  This has fixed the issue and all is working
well.

I have just checked my notes going back about 10 years and this is the
first time I must have ever used a hyphen in a status!  I knew it was
something I did, I would never have found it.  Thanks for your help! :-)


Thanks
Ben
