Thanks Jean-Louis, perfectly clear and that was exactly what I needed :) I also found that if I define my variables first e.g. serverName then the field is automatically updated in the request created while recording.
Only problem is that when I add timers of any kind to the controller this value is added into the total result. It's okay for a constant timer as I can just subtract that value from the timings, but for variable time delays it's not possible. Cheers, James.
