Wow, thanks for this really comprehensive response. It'll take me a while to work through this so don't take a delayed response as lack of appreciation! Also as I'm semi-retired I may take a walk in the sunshine for the rest of the day!!

Incidentally I tried a fresh install of TAVERNA 1.7.2 and the CDK plugin on my wife's Windows 7 laptop (also on the same network though) and got the same (negative) result.
