Doug thanks for the discussion, I read it with interest. I don't suppose you have a link for these Action Pack subscriptions? I think I have mentioned that prune belly is a very small non-profit. Although the host I am moving to has SQL --- but this means going through the hosting company for any usual set up, and I can't afford a personal copy.
