Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply, we had got to a similar point as well (that initialize globals was stomping on it the second time round), but not is as much detail thanks for the explinatoin! Lincon, is this enough to go on? We've munged our install, which is not the ideal solution. Thanks everyone for thier time. Lincon for the module, and Mike for the excellent explinatoin. The list is great, and support like this is an excellent factor in our internal push for more Open Source stuff!
