Mike,

I was just about to write back and say no, no I can't do this. I think I'm running before I can walk. I've been trying to log in as 'sa' and it seems, for the moment anyway, this is unnecessary. I'm up and running, thanks.

BTW are you the same Mike Levy who publishes lots of stuff in FoxTalk? If so, just keep it coming.

Best wishes

Paul
