it looks pretty obvious this was a differant issue then pd.
if pd had been the culprit then a "last good configuration" couldn't have resolved the issue.
as the files are permanently moved during offline, and reverting configurations does not change that
for instance, if a similar issue arrises with dk, a "last good configuration" will not resolve the problem
Greg, thanx for taking a look at this users problem
...I wish you'd come by more often like you used to, but it's always great to see you here
