Thanks Lester,

My first *PC* goes back to 1976 (HP 9815 from memory - 1008 *program
steps* - i.e. Bytes memory) so when I say my programming is 'on and
off' you know what I mean.
Wish now I had done Computer Science at Uni rather than Chemistry...

Never wrote anything CS type up until a few years back (using
Advantage). 99% of what I have ever done was *desktop* based so SQL
is new to me. Just have to remember where Delphi ends and SQL
starts ...

Regards,
