In Project Analysis, it tells me that the Hope Page - Object not included in SiteMap.xml - but if I look at the site map, the Home Page is included.
Grateful for advice.

Is in the home page, in the expert tab, the sitemap set on?
I think it's off, set it to on and rerun analyse.
This sitemap is not the same as the footer menu or the sitemap of your website it's a code that is used by search engines to better scan your website. You won't see it on your website.
You can make a visible sitemap by adding a new level (not a new page) to your menu and then use the link option inside the properties to get a visual sitemap.
You can also set settings in the expert tab for importance and updates to add to the site map, again, you will not see this physicly on the website but the search engines that scan your site will use that data.

Yes - add this page to the sitemap is ticked.
Ah - it is not the page itslef that is not included - it is an object within the page. IN this case Image (1,1). Presumably that doesn't matter does it?
Thanks for your help.

No it will not matter for your website, but it should be in the sitemap as code on the background. (for searchengines it will matter slightly)
You can copy the website to harddrive, and then check to see if you see a sitemap in the root you should be able to open that one with excel. The file sitemap is an .xml file.
In your case it's an object, go to the object in that page, double click it and go to sitemap tab to set the object also in your sitemap.
let me know if things still not work out...
