285900 2004-10-29 11:16:00 Problem solved JB,
Took bull by the horns and deleted database file corresponding to DELETED ITEMS which is where the problem seemed to lie. Had feeling that I'd read somewhere that these database files are recreated on startup if they aren't present.
It worked - all happy now.
Thanks again for your help.
