Hi Cliff, Thanks for that. Pity I wasn't able to find this for myself. :) I tried adding the PC's Hostname and Erlang wasn't happy. I noticed the Werl window mentioned etc/local.ini so I opened that and changed the Hostname to the IP address and it works as I wanted.
Do you know if a Hostname should work for the bid address? Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 7:19:03 PM, you wrote: CW> Neville, CW> Good Morning.
