Jon, Robert and Woody -

Thanks for the responses!

I haven't downloaded Names Cleaner yet (will do!), but I tried the rest
of Jon's recommendation, and it worked!

I can only recall having added two entries to the Names since I last
backed up, so there was no issue with lost data.

THANKS!

 - Don
