Thanks Five and Roann,

I analysed the files in info mode via TLH as you suggested and it came up with this report for one of the 'bad' files:

I will attempt what Five suggested and then if there is no 'fix' then I'll have to do what you suggest Robert, and get another copy. Hopefully, it will be 'clean'

Thanks again
