Colin,

Thanks for that - I've decided that's the way I'm going to do it. I was hoping for quick alternatives but this seems quick enough.

Tis very strange this UT. I'm going to a company called Occam Direct Marketing. They are a direct competitor of my previous IT employers in the Address Management/Data Processing environment. I've got 13 years experience and wrote all of my previous employers generic address processing systems so I was the ideal candidate for Occam. Would you believe they are in converted stables and barn on a farm on the edge of a small village - wonderful environment!
