   I can believe that, I had worked unconnected to the server the previous   
   evening.   
      
   Must be psychic, I was thinking yesterday about using delivered forms to   
   force me not to make ad-hoc changes on the server copies, rather to do   
   them all on the development copy. I think I must implement that.
