Hi Fred, Thanks for your response. The other parts of the app (i.e. the controllers) do seem to pick up this model. The class in the /lib folder is being used separately. I'm currently running it manually, but I'm looking into running it automatically using a cron job or something similar later on. So, it's not included by another file at the moment, as it's meant to run as a standalone script. (I'm guessing that may have fixed the problem if that file already had access to the model.)
