Jeff,

While I've used R for more than a decade I've not before had this
experience.

I'll set up a script to run all existing scripts, in order, and run it to be
able to continue my project. I'll definitely look at the targets and qs
packages as well as save-read/RDS.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and teaching me a valuable
lesson.

Have safe and healthy holidays and stay well,

Rich
