I assumed that though the user events were attached to the database they
were also added to the standard event list and the program then used the
definitions in the standard event list and ignored any definitions in the
database.

To me this seemed to be the explanation for the problem I was having trying
to get user events carried over from 3b15 to 3b16 and on to 3b17 because if
the program used the user event list in the database as well as the standard
event list the program would find the user event definitions regardless of
which list they were in and I shouldn't have a problem.

I thought that the viewer had all edit features disabled which suggested to
me that user events could not be added to it's standard event list.

Maybe the two problems are actually the same problem?

If you think it useful I will run some more checks for you and record what
happens step by step.
