    I've had a very interesting email exchange with fellow Orchid reader
    James Miller in relation to my question and I thought it would be
    good to add it to the thread.

    I think he pretty much answers my original question and indicates
    that this this is a known problem, which is invaluable information
    IMHO. I also find the old technique for dealing with the issue most
    helpful, as the old ways so often are, especially for a one-man,
    low-tech shop like my own. 

Cheers James,
