a mere 20 years Leigh....so your still a newbie then :-) You are correct, but in this case whilst its not the best solution, it will suffice for now and will only require a function to find the correct folder location and then do a copy and replace as apposed to a rather larger potentially code-breaking changes. But I will definitely be changing the way it works.Its a matter of time- as always
