Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. You are quite right I hadn't thought of looking at the source output. The reason that there is a second Doc declaration in the code comes from the php"include file" which I had not removed the Doc description from the top. Thanks to all for the input. Now sorted, will remember not to do that again.
