Hi Ronni, I have recommended you to my friend who lives in Subiaco, so we will see if she contacts you. I've said that as well as running your own consultancy you give people on the WAMUG list lots of help for free. So far, she has been reluctant to join WAMUG because of getting lots of emails, but I think it's a pity because I find I learn so much here. It may not be immediately useful, but I can go back and search the archives if I remember that a topic has been discussed. Cheers, Susan
