LDQT - Essex Generic Tool Modified by GW (ZIP) New 30/05/08

I discovered some errors in the vba code which caused validation to fail when uploading the XML to LDQT. These are now fixed. The errors were only in the Service Provision section as follows:

1. strPCAdd used instead of strSPAdd in two places

2. <ind:ServiceProviderAddresses> </ind:ServiceProviderAddresses> and <ind:ServiceProviderAddress> </ind:ServiceProviderAddress> not correctly paired. Also <ind:UKAddress> </ind:UKAddress> included erroneously (not in LDQT schema).
