Virginia (and Lee):
I think this may have fixed the problem. I did delete the 8 files and have
started rebuilding the list as I enter stuff. I am sure it will have fixed
it since TMG has to rebuild the pointers in the queues. In the meantime I
saved the 8 files in case you would like to look at them to do any problem
solving. As I said it only happened after the power outage and there is no
way I can replicate the problem. Let me know if you would like them.

Again thanks to you and Bill for your time and attention to this.

Michael Dietz
