Ah....

What I have done is created a completely different app to generate the
serialized data - it's intended to be run once, create the data file and
that's it. 

The file is then sucked in to the 2nd application for deserializing. Would
what I want to do be better using an Xml serialized file or will I hit the
same problem? Failing that I'm guessing I'll need to draw the file into a
list (more or less the reverse of creating the list in the first place).

TTFN
