Hello.
At this time, after doing what I had done, that I had previously
stated, the file is still at zero bytes, so I think that it is
probably better, to leave the error handling as it is, and, monitor it
daily, to detect any change, and then, act on any changes to the file.
However, thank you for the suggestion, which I shall retain for future
consideration.
