Dave, Thanks for the post - I used the link and can see that there is a load of 'stuff' they can do (for me?) - I would have called them on the 1-949-407-5125 number, but have you any idea of the charges for international calls.
Or, did you not mean to include the link at the end of the message? (Sarcastic mode - I just been talked to by a client's manager - I have not supplied the urgently needed facility - for which they have not agreed to pay, nor have they supplied a completed requirements spec. before their contact person went on holiday.)
