Hi brian_z
I started the thread, imorf69 was kind enough to reply.
CT supply many formats, I use pure padded as I dont want options,
warrants etc.
To use MS via plug in do I have to set up another database or will it
work on current DB? ( I really understand very little).
I looked at some scripting but it's beyond my capabilities, I dont
even know what GUI programs mean.
Thanks for your interest & help but it's proberly best if I stick to
manual for the time being.
Cheers
woz
