Unfortunately no, it doesn't refer to any line no. I'll have a go myself I guess but it's a 1.3M file and I don't really have a clue what I'm looking for. All I can think to do is go through it comparing it with the backup from when it was working and see if I find something that looks wrong. Thanks, hey.
