Tim, Many thanks for your reply.
I don't know unfortunately, I would assume the file wasn't corrupted before encryption, but I don't know for fact, and I don't know if there was ever a version of the encrypted file that was free from corruption. The originator of the file will not have access to the original file for a few weeks at least, unfortunately. Many thanks for your help!
