Hi Harold,
Hearty thanks for your help, have had two (rapid), replies from forum members
whilst I slept (New
Zealand = GMT + 12 hours). So hopefully there will be a resolution. Also there
is no need for you
to apologise - you are going out of your way to help!!!
Fortunately the OOo problem I am seeking help for is not critical just
irritating, so no damage
there.
Sorry for busting in on your party. I have been part of an Oracle list, and I
drowned in emails,
so best that I don't join. At this stage all I could contribute is problems
anyway, lol.
Once again thanks, and Harold, enjoy that summer that you have coming.
Cheers,
Nev
