hi all yes, a link to that snippet would have enabled me to hack it out; searching the LSR it was not apparent that that snippet held all the answers for 'normal but adventurous' users I wouldn't worry about examples in the manual being 'tedious but reliable' - I use a lot of the internals tweaks every day without really understanding how they work - the one's i've got to grips with quickest are the ones with the fullest examples. thanks for all the help - I really appreciate it Damian
