Hi Dan, Since you have a greater understanding of Base than many of us here, it's great to see that you have picked this up. Thanks very much. It getting late for me now, but I will do the necessary prep work on the ODF Authors website in a few hours time and get back to you. I will also answer Robert when I have had some much needed sleep. Thanks to you both.
