Thanks Jens... perfect. Exactly what I was after (before I disappeared down a dead-end of rpc calls and tons of re-writing, which I'd probably give up on).
Loads to look in to, and get going on. Thank you. I'll see how far I get and post any questions I have. Hopefully my only remaining concern is the file upload and download functionality. Thanks again, much appreciated.
