Strange......I got a periodic event running every 5 minutes which
decrements
or reloads  a variable and its reporting ok........

It works fine with variables which have been deleted from the EXclude file
and doesnt report any variable that are not removed from the Exclude file
(as expected) ...Sure you have  removed the correct Variable ;-)
