thanks for taking the time to provide me this information.

I am on the UK servers of 1and1.  I will be looking into this later.

I am really grateful to yourself and Chris for your assistance.

I will try a few things out, and get back in touch with the support

>From what you have said it all sounds promising.

thanks again - S
