Hi Marco, Hi Michael, Marco, thank you very much for catching this and posting to the list Marco!
Michael, I would go for option 2 I have also sent an email to the mapper who made the mistake. Mistakes happen, it is just the nature of things. If someone wants to fix them up via option 2 above, please let us know. It will take me at least an hour before I can dig in and fix it myself, but I will let the list know when I do if no one has started before then. Thank you again!
