Hi Drew, Thank you for the pointer, I genuinely believed that there would be more info in an admin guide, I'd try to donate some time writing some stuff up but I don't know the structure of the config files or anything so where to begin is a mystry, I've only used OO on my personal workstation so i've never had to look at this aspect of OO before Thanks for the help
