OH, I buy that. I'm just wondering why it was working one way, with adding
AND deleting records at the end for weeks and weeks and all of a sudden it
changes it's behavior. And I'm not sure the REUSE explanation works because
I've never deleted the first record ever and now it's inserting data there.

It's not that I can't work around this, although it's a pain. It just makes
me nervous when a key piece of software suddenly starts behaving
unpredictably for no apparent reason.
