Ok I've done a bit more work and some more reading on this.
The problem appears to be the "one-offing" nature of custom forms. To
create a form I was using Tools/Forms/Choose form which stopped the button
events firing after sending the task. I should have used File/New/Choose
form which seems to work fine so far.
Quite how you're supposed to guess this, or work it, out escapes me. At
least I think this is the solution. I haven't yet ruled out standing on one
leg and facing South, but will check these out and report back.
Have a good day all....
