Thanks Geert,
You could be right, I 'Saved As' before trying something out and it went

so reloaded my 'Saved As'.
On checking just now I can see that the default 'Save As' is 'xml', which I
didn't notice;
which also means I have been using xml, when all the time I though it was
sqlite - which explains a few things.
