It is excellent for what it does, but it does not touch on imports. I dont need anything complex, but I do need something that shows the communication (inc doc types) from start to finish. NRF is also out. What I need to do I guess is find someone who's been in the import game for a long time, fly there and just pick their brain for a day or so. Dinner and booze are on me if you are that person. Jim
